I need some really warm gloves for these sub zero mornings.
I have some 'lobster claw' style gloves that are very warm, but the linings are not stitched in at the fingers, so after washing they are a nightmare to get the linings back into the fingers. I have to get up 30 minutes earlier to sort them out !
Which really warm gloves have fully stiched in linings.
Sealskinz Porelle... Awesome winter gloves.
The first pair I had suffered from the unstitched liner problem you mention and I really fell out with them, but I wrote to Sealskinz and they replaced them with a correctly stitched pair. Can't fault them.
Yet to find any with stitched lining, though my original Sealskin are what I use when really cold and the liners are only now slightly temperamental after several year use, otherwise at the moment I'm using single layer windproof gloves with a decathlon liner glove.
Use Specialized Sub Zero's, seperate inner and outers, inner good for down to 0, outer is water and windproof and warm to -12 at least (coldest I rode in last winter and never got cold hands)
started to use my dakine snowboarding gloves this year, a bit bulky but really warm and only wearing the outers at the moment
My preferred gloves have an unstitched liner (think most do...) although it never comes out in the wash. Given your requirement though I'd +1 for the Spesh sub-zeros but they are pretty bulky. Alternative would be just to get an unlined waterproof shell glove and use a separate merino inner glove.
craft lobster gloves have a seperate inner glove, the sub zero's people are using are the y the ones split into index finger and then the other 3 fingers together does the index finger get cold?
My Spesh Radiant gloves are nice and toasty. Only used them once as I bought them after the worst of the winter had passed last year.
karnali - Membercraft lobster gloves have a seperate inner glove, the sub zero's people are using are the y the ones split into index finger and then the other 3 fingers together does the index finger get cold?
Mine are the split into index version, my hands are not what you call large, but the large size glove fitted best, a very tight fit & the XL felt too big, so worth checking the size out before buying.
So far only been down to freezing with them on, (commuting 1hr to & from work) but my index finger is noticably cooler than the rest of my fingers, not cold or uncomfortably so mind.
Inners are fine to use on their own too if its not too cold.
My sub zeros are separate finger jobs not lobster stylee
Your local TK Maxx may have some Sugoi Firewall GT's at £20, got some yesterday incase we have a cold snap.... not cold enough yet to use them here in the Isle of Man.....
I bought some Chiba Dry Star after reading some threads on here from last year, picked them up silly cheap from Merlin and they worked a treat in around zero-ish riding at the weekend, linings seemed to be stitched in but still had minor problems with little finger.
Been using these and impressed so far. Could do with some gel pads if I am honest.
Looks like the Spesh Sub Zero are favourite. Anyone know what the sizing is like.
Buy a pair of 'Thinnys' or equivalent as glove liners. This is much better than buying one decent glove. It also means you can rummage in your camelbak without totally exposing your hands to the elements.
Always carry a spare pair of gloves in the depths of winter / foul weather.
I've tried silk gloves (Trekmates) but they showed excessive pilling after the first use so daren't try them again as they are expensive.
The thing to do with any glove that can have the lining pull out like that, is to make a big pile of them, set it on fire, then throw the designer on top.
Fox Antifreeze are good- like proper gloves, good feel, not too bulky. Good in more conditions because of the removable liner. No daft padding on the wrists- an awful lot of winter gloves are ruined with that, no idea why.
I bought the craft lobster gloves for this winter, I'm normally medium sized gloves though had to go up one size.
Bah forgot one very important thing... one fingered braking!!!! Doh, so now just use them on my commuting bike. Apart from no one finger braking and the lobster comments from my mates (though I think thats part jealousy on the way back from the pub), can't fault them.
