I need some new gloves.. Hunting through the usual online stores and there are loads, but can't find what I'm looking for..
I want some warm gloves (not full-on winter gloves with loads of layers) just something thats not mesh across the back, that are touchscreen compatible..
Any suggestions? Seen some TLD Ace on offer but not sure about the warmth (or lack) of them.
Cheers!
Look at some of the hillwalking brands - North Face make some nice thicky polypropylene gloves with touchy bits on
100% Brisker.
Like a normal lightweight riding glove but with a thick windproof top and touchscreen finger tips.
I like mine.
Karrimor fleece gloves. can be used on touchscreen, warm not windproof but keep hands warm enough. Cheap at sports direct
If you lick the finger on a normal glove it'll work on a touchscreen.
Take a look at the 100% Brisker gloves, should fit the bill.

Use mine all year round, protective, warm enough but ok in summer and only a bit nippy in the coldest of weathers.
Normally buy a few pairs when stiff have a sale on the only negative is they don't last that long. Probably get around 12 months out of a pair but they're only £15 a pop. Not sure on finger touch screen but thumb works fine!
Defeet dura. I used mine on Saturday when it was -3°C.

100% brister gloves are decent , although they have a meaningless buzzword phrase on the palms
Another vote for 100% Briskers here.
Yep 100% brisker
Defeet at -3? Suppose it depends on the person as I was doubling up my nightvisions with silk liners. Defeet are for chilly road rides in march not winter for me!
Phew do some windproof ones which I like.
Yet another vote for the 100% Brisker, was wearing mine yesterday. I'm a convert to 100% gloves now though after buying some when i was Antur Stiniog when my old 661s split.
100% Brisker gloves look good, but I've spoken to a few guys who've had them fall apart rather quickly.
Madison Element gloves are a good price and nice to wear, I've worn then in wet and cold days in the mountains, as well as in the summer when I've packed them by mistake.

Warm.
Grippy finger pads.
Not waterproof though.
Decent length on the cuff for tucking underneath your sleeves.
How doe people find the brisker gloves when its below freezing?
I've been pretty pleased with the £12.50 Decathlon winter gloves.
I wore them for a 3 hour road ride Saturday (temp was just below zero as puddles frozen)
Only time I noticed my hands were a little cold was on one big hill decent - but my eyeballs also felt like they were freezing solid so hands not such an issue. (Strava said 37mph - so reasonable amount of windchill)
The vents in Oakley racing jacket lenses are not so good in winter!

ime at or close to freezing is their limit. For me they are OK providing my hands are warm to begin with but the neoprene back seems to suck heat away for several minutes until it warms through. If I'm putting in enough effort to generate some heat they're fine but they don't keep my hands warm per se
I was sure I saw stick-on touchscreen thingers for normal gloves a while back, but now I can't find a trace... am I imagining things? Could be pretty useful...
I'm really liking my Fox Polar Sidewinders. Warm enough (bought them at BPW when it snowed overnight) but I can still feel bars/levers through them.
We're pretty hardy north of the wall. I did have my Sealskinz on for a short while but the only time I had cold hands was the final fast descent to the van.
Liking my briskers too right now at about 2 weeks in. Fine for down to about freezing, or a bit under if it's dry. Best thing is the feel from the thin palm - like a summer glove.
Fox Polar Sidewinders
These do look nice but seem to be a bit tighter than normal fox sizing, I have M Digits but will have to get a L in these ones.
Why are people needing gloves for touch screens?
STRAAAAVVAAAA
Or more likely for me, checking where I am on my phone's OS maps.
Yep another vote for the 100% Briskers, mine are wearing well too.
Are the briskers warm enough for most of the UK winter?
Also looking at the Altura Dexter
or has anyone tried the the giant winter gloves ?
