What gloves are you wearing as your cold weather gloves? Do they work?
Was on the road bike for 5 hours today. Hands really suffered from the cold but the rest of me was fine.
I got good Gore ones a few years ago but they're so hard to put on and take off as the inner liner keeps coming out, which has put me off wearing them. They also have really bad dexterity.
So... what warm pair that are easy enough put on and take off, and have ok dexterity?
Cheers!!!
Sealskins or screwfix winter workmans gloves had castelli wingers which were very warm but very padded and a bit uncomfortable as a result
Endura neoprene, great insulation with minimal padding.
I have BBB waterproof ones at the moment that are probably like Sealskinz, but they don't have enough insulation for me.
Neoprene winter water skiing gloves!
Ill be the first to write down Galibier barriers agian. 🙂
Endura neoprene or adli lobsters.

neoprene, sealskinz lobsters or pogies if it's sub zero and I'm out really late/early with no chance of being seen using them 😆
Friends of mine swear by the lobster style gloves.

Well some people are looking for windproof gloves, some people want waterproof, some people want lots of insulation, others want ones that will stay warm when wet but not necessarily waterproof. Bit of a grey area! I was just enquiring with regards to my own preferences.
These are great and I suffer in the cold. Retractable mit section covers 3 fingers on the MTB and 2 on the road bike. Fine down to zero for me.

Wear 100 % briskers on all my bikes in winter.. I run quite warm though
Galibiers here, lovely kit. Inners are sewn in too, so they don't disembowel themselves whhen you take them off.
I bought some Polaris neoprene gloves in the pre-Xmas sale. They were very cheap (especially compared with some of the Gore stuff) so I reckoned they were worth a try.
They're a bit "weird" feeling. Certainly toastie, but there's a dampness you'd expect wearing neoprene. Cosy enough, flexible too, so no dexterity problems. The only issues I've had with them so far; (a) it's not really been cold enough and so my hands have often felt a bit too warm, (b) putting them on after a nights bivvying - the dampness made them feel cold until I'd done 4-5 miles to warm them up again.
