I desperately need some very good gloves for the winter and I'm looking at the Endura Strike.

Does anyone own a pair? Are they any good?

Any other alternatives!?

Help is much appreciated!

    Fox Antifreeze 2010. £35 so not cheap but worth every penny IMO. I've become a fanboy :lol: They're warm, they're adaptable (with a removable inner so you can run the full glove for real cold, or just the outer for less cold weather). Tested mine down to well below zero, I did get slightly cold thumbs but then, I also had ice forming on my shorts so I think I'll forgive them ;) Best bit is, though they're thick they've still got good feel, they just feel like thick, regular gloves. Nice Pittards palm for grip frinstance and they feel protective.

    Sealskins Merinos at £7 under other loose fit gloves works well---just don`t wash the sealskins though as they shrink shrink shrink....

    The thickest snug fitting neoprene gloves that your local fishing tackle shop stocks, look for a minimum 3mm though preferably 5mm :wink:

    Been using the old Specilaized Radiant gloves for couple years and they work OK in cold weather. Saw them on offer somewhere for £20 sale price. One tip with these is warm them up before heading out in minus temps and they stay warm from the off.

    If they have been sitting in the back of the van cold then they take a while to get up to temp....

    +1 for Specialized BG Gloves, I have the sub-zeros and they are great in the freezing temps.
