Hi everyone, got my 1st bike in early december and looking to get a decent pair of gloves as my hands are freezing, can you send links to what you would all recommend.

Cheers

whats your budget?

Northwind

Fox Antifreeze 2010 model, absolutely fantastic. Good for different conditions too because of the removable liner. Both layers for proper cold, outer layer for merely chilly.

jay12, neither of those you linked are warm gloves :?

They are warm gloves if you decide to MTFU. I was biking in the snow the other day with 661 comps are was fine, just keep moving your fingers every now and then

i have some £1 gloves which are reasonably warm. when it gets colder i just put them underneath and also they are thin so they fit under the glove

freeride-mike

I bought some of these, warm any comfy and reasonably priced..

the rajis are a good autum/ spring glove but a bit cool for winter epics

they are so comfy tho

There's no shortage of £20 winter gloves :? If someone says their hands are cold, lets recommend them gloves which will help, rather than saying mtfu, shall we?

^ I like them. Winter and waterproof and they work. CRC has them in different sizes, ask them to price match but HoB were cool to deal with, execpt they are on holiday.

anyways
one suggestion would be goretex snowboarding mittens with a zip pocket for a pair of hand warmers (dont know if disposable or reusable would be best). or these http://www.terra-nova.co.uk/Product_Type/Gloves_and_Mitts/Super_Inferno_Mitt_Large_Black.html

Firstly when buyin clothes from a website never do ...

Because it's pointless no matter how much of a bargin it may be It's always best to try them on in the shop .. then you exactly know what your buying .. and what your happy with ..


Some may raise an eyebrow to the following ,.,

I've always found wearing a pair of disposable rubber gloves under my gloves pair works wonders ..

timberjack

Ald, £3,better than endura strike, i had both

I've got the Aldi ones and they're not close to as good as the Foxes.

People dont always have an LBS that stock all the gloves in the world to try on.

Secondly, disposable gloves, good for about 10 mins before your hand is swimming in sweat.

i bought a pair of tld ace 2010 which although they are lightweight and the top is mesh they kept my hands fairly warm today and would work very well with glove liners which you can for about a fiver at most outdoor shops

I've just got a pair of Gore Cross Gore Tex gloves from probikekit.com for £30. seem good so far.
