Brill, Briskers to blaggers 😎
Oh yeah it's worth adding but one thing that's better than briskers, if it's damp, is 2 or 3 pairs of briskers. Even just changing from sweaty gloves to dry mid ride can really be a warmer but in the wet it's huge.
Some old Madison neoprene riding gloves for most cold weather. Then some Nookie Equipment whitewater neoprene kayaking gloves if it’s really really cold. And if they don’t cut it I stay inside because it’s The Day After Tomorrow.
Had my first ride today in Briskers. They were just warm enough.
I'll refer to the autumn gloves thread, that's what I'd describe these as. Definitely not a winter glove for me
I have a pair of Endura Deluge 2, black, XL, that aren’t for me, worn once for half an hour in the dry, so as new. Happy to pass on for £20 posted if any use to someone.
I'm a big fan of shell / over gloves for this kind of thing. They pack up small to go in a back pocket or seat bag and you can take them on and off easily when it starts / stops raining or you've got too hot from a climb.
mine were from Dissent 133 but there are other options from the likes of Hestra (inc. a lobster over-mitt) and Trekmates (e.g. https://www.trekmates.co.uk/collections/gloves/products/scafell-gtx-shell-glove-aw24 ) . Usually pair them with an equivalent of the Defeet Dura glove which have a sort of goldilocks ability to be warm, a little bit windproof but also highly breathable albeit with no water-resistance.
