Anyone tried these... Sealkinz Handle Bar Mitts:

I get [b]really[/b] cold hands on my winter road commute despite trying a range of gloves. I'm torn between trying these and Specialized Sub-Zero Gloves (both around £35-£40).
Anyone used them?
I find it's moisture that chills me more than anything else, so thin/breathable but warm/windproof seem to work better for me.
That and warm arms and head = warm fingers for some physiological reason that works, ditto legs/toes.
How about [url= http://ajbikeequipment.com/page2.htm ]Bar Mitts[/url]

Highly recommended by my missus.

I've had Sealskinz gloves in the past and while they were very warm and dry, they fell to bits in just over a month. Returned them and got BBB Aquashields which were excellent all through last winter.
How the hell do you one finger brake with mittens on? 😕

I need them for commuting on my road bike where wind chill is a greater problem due to a much higher average speed.
Friend got the Sub Zero gloves, he liked them a lot, but said they weren't the best in really cold weather. My Sealskinz Winter gloves (3-4 years old now) only come out when the temperature goes below 0, as they're so damned hot.
I'd say go for the mitten or their std winter glove or their "[url= http://www.sealskinz.com/active-range/cycling/extra-cold-weather-cycle-gloves-with-gel ]extra cold cycling gloves[/url]", either way you should be warm.
I have sealskinz gloves not sure which ones, possibly not bike specific, really good. When it gets colder I wear a liner underneath.
But I picked up a pair of sub zeros last winter at a bargain price, and whilst bulky they're fantastic. I even took them skiing last time round as a reserve pair in case I lost my others.

Which would you take if it were really cold... the Sealskinz or the Sub-Zero gloves?
Skytec Argon
