I've got a pair of DHB full length gloves. They're about £15 - £20 and they are good in the fact that they are full finger gloves but that's it. They offer absolutely no protection against the cold or wet weather. They are also not well padded (an issue for me).

What full finger gloves offer good protection against the cold/wet weather, have padding are at a reasonable price? £15 - £30

I also have Specialized fingerless gloves (BG gel - 2 yrs old). They are well padded and comfortable, does anyone know if the full fingered version will offer me what I'm looking for - protection against cold/wet weather and decent padding?

I would like the gloves to be relatively thin.

    I wore my motorbike gloves yesterday and they were fantastic - my fingers didn't get cold or wet. The opposite of thin, though.

    I'm not sure you're likely to find warm, well-padded and thin gloves all in one relatively cheap package, but I hope you do as I'll buy them too!

    I bought some altura thermastretch gloves. thery're nice and thin with fairly good padding and warm, best of all £20 :D

    I wore them for cleanin the snow off the car last week, theyre not supposed to be waterproof but my hands weren't wet and they are wind proof so I didn't get numb fingers

    These: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Castelli_Max_Due_Winter_Gloves/5360038770/

    Over your budget but they are utterly fantastic and very very warm.

    awesome winter waterproof glove, toasty and you can always wear a lining glove for super double b@stard cold days too.

    I used these since November, and haven't been cold once.

    Bargain at less than £5.

    Specialized Deflect gloves are pretty good at about £24.99.

    Not super-warm, but good enough for about 5+ degrees I suppose, depending on how badly you feel the cold. I like the palms of these gloves because they have just the right amount of padding.

    They also do a warmer 'Radiant' version for £40 but its obviously has thicker insulation so might not suit you.

    MTFU you don't need gloves its all just a marketing scam.

    I took 4 pairs of gloves to HOTA

    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
