Has anyone tried both of these:
Sportful Sotto Zero Gloves
Castelli Estremo Winter Cycling Gloves
My current winter gloves are falling apart so time for an upgrade. After some for 4/5 hour rides when it's really quite nippy (down to freezing) with possibly some rain.
Both are really pricey (£40 and £48). How much of that is paying for the name or are they actually better than Decathlon etc?
Many thanks

Struggled for years finding the right glove combination.
http://www.phew.cc/shop/phew-lobster-ou ... ing-gloves - these are great, can combine with thin liners or go for http://www.phew.cc/shop/phew-early-wint ... ing-gloves.
Pack down to nothing as well.0 -
Sportful and Castelli are the same company so the performance will be similar. The Estremo are very premium but not actually all that warm.
Lobsters are better in deep cold. The ones above look good. Alternatively the Craft Siberian Split finger or Pearl Izumi Softshell lobster.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)
