Need some new full finger gloves to get me throught the winter but without too much bulk

Any recommendations?

Oli

You’ve missed them

Aldi. Amazing value for money.

I do not have them yet but I think I’ll be buying Giro Neo Blaze….Pretty minimal but should do the job.

i’ve got some scott minus, gore windstopper backs and normal palm. worked pretty well for me in iceland earlier this year.

Planet-X Roubaix are good for spring/Autumn, not mega warm but very good for the in between months.
For winter I use either Aldi (still some left in Stourbridge if you’re close) or some from Decathlon that picked up.

First very wet ride out in my Scott Minus gloves today, quite impressed with them, ha do where warm and the water didn’t get through until the very end of the ride when it was properly persisting it down! There are quite a few good reviews around, which is what I based my purchase on.

I do exactly the same as lunge

other option would be summer full length (or even summer mitts) with liners under for inbetween ish

also have a look at prendas they have good gloves

If you’re talking winter, ie a **** freezing commute/ride in the mountains, then glacier gloves perfect curve has no equals*

*well, it may have, but I’ve not tried them!.

Those scott minus look spot on

they were on offer at start cycles as well.

Specialised Sub Zero. Worn them out riding when it was -8c and the water in the pipe of my hydration bladder froze.

The inners make great gloves in their own right until it gets really really cold.

For me the gore power SO gloves have been great for the past three winters.
They’re thin but stop the wind so that’s most of the battle.

Pearl Izumi WXB are very good. get a size up then you can fit liners in if needs be. Mine have been used daily during the winter for the last 3 years. All the grips and leather palm are still in good nick too.

In really cold weather, I use my old Hein Gericke Pathan Lobster motorcycling gloves. Almost too warm.
But great for those silly rides where it’s so cold your mech and freewheel freeze up… 🙂
Roll on silly winter rides.

Anyone used the 661 Storm gloves?

How warm do you need? I’m a huge fan of the Perfect Curve Glacier Gloves, but they’re going to be proper deep winter kit for most folks (I have bad circulation so need a bit more glove than most, there’s other gloves that can keep me functioning but these keep me comfy). Going to scout out some other neoprene options this winter though.

I really like the Fox Antifreeze for a less hot option. Seperate inner shell makes them very flexible. Unfortunately the outer material does delaminate and fall off over time, which is annoying considering the price. But while they last they’re awesome, I’ve happily raced dh in mine.

(every year there’s a bunch of winter gloves tests and every year one of the mags will say “Usable even down to 0 degrees!”, as if that were cold. Mostly they’re just autumn gloves, it’s annoying.

Anyone used the 661 Storm gloves

I’ve a pair from a few years back. There ok but the Scott minus are better

I had a pair of 661 storms and I’m a fan of 661 gloves generally. They aren’t in the same league as the £5 Aldi ones that I have now.

Also have the Glacier perfect curves as Northwind mentions above but they never came out once last winter as it just never got cold enough.

Specialised Sub Zero. Worn them out riding when it was -8c and the water in the pipe of my hydration bladder froze.

I have these and yes they are good but the aldi gloves are better. Out of all the winter gloves I’ve tried the aldi ones are the best by far.

Yet another Aldi glove fanboy. Always get 2 every year.

Get one pair of Aldi gloves in the “right” size, and one pair a size larger for using Decathlon glove liners underneath. Toasty fingers in stupid temperatures for a tenner.

You guys sicken me with the annual Aldi super duper glove threads, I’m in Northern Ireland so no Aldi!
If anyone has a pair of large I’ll gladly pay for them or any selfless cyclists near an Aldi to grab me a pair.
Failing this need a recommendation like the op for waterproof and warm winter gloves.

Madison make some nice ones, comfortable and warm. They’re basically made from neoprene (or similar). Keep the wind off and hands warm.

They’re also under £20.

Tom KP.

Aldi’s and they’ll be a fiver again when they are on sale. Cosmetically they look like C&A ski gloves. Look past that.

I’ve got a pair of Aldi specials in XL.

You sure on the L?

Just HOW old are you Hora?

@hammyuk C&A are still available in France. But I think Hora is one of our ‘mature’ members!

Do Lidl still do cycle sales?

I had some of their winter gloves that are great but need replacing now

alandavidpetrie79, cheers but just bit the bullet on a pair of Scott Minus gloves for £20!

Where are the Scott ones £20? I could only see odd sizes at start cycles

I got xl at smartcycles

Endura Strike

Sorry meant to say XL at startcycles

Yet another Aldi glove fanboy. Always get 2 every year.

Always sensible to buy two gloves 🙂

The Aldi ones are OK. Good value for money and do a good job of keeping your hands warm, but bulkier than some of the more expensive options, and the liners can be a pain in my experience.

Best warm winter gloves I have are a woolly fleece lined set I had cheap off ebay. Toasty and warm on the coldest of rides. They aren`t waterproof though.

As for waterproof winter gloves. I find your hands get wet inside from sweat … so you still get wet hands.

Mature? You don’t remember their stores? They only shut the UK ones in the year 2000..

The Aldi ones are alright I suppose. No more than alright though, I use mine for commuting in til it gets properly cold.

I was born in 1518. I’m 497yrs old

Just bought a pair of the Scott Minus gloves based on the comments earlier in the thread, hope they’re as good for me!

Two of us found the limits of the aldi gloves today on snowdon.
They are warm until it’s a bit windy, then both my hands went completely numb as they were so cold.
My mates turned into sponges.

Gonna try something else this winter me thinks
