Anyone recommend some winter gloves? Will be used mainly on the road.
Was just about to order some Seal Skinz road cycle gloves but, just read some very bad reviews... kinda put me off them.
Cheers for any help.
Aldi/Crane winter cycling gloves - warm, windproof, waterproof in anything other than a torrential downpour, Ok not the most breathable but only a fiver a pair
Yep the Crane/Aldi ones are good but you can only get them a couple of times a year.

Been looking around for these for years since I bought my last pair in Grassington. Ordered a new pair already!!!
I've always found big winter gloves too warm unless its very cold so I bought some Gore Run wear winter gloves - thin light warm windstopper and working well so far. No padding but fine for on road.
Thor AC are reasonably thin but a little stiff.
661 Storms were garbage, liner turns inside out when you take them off, too tight even if you size up.
I'll usually try and get away with a normal glove and keep the winter ones in my bag just in case, they are not ideal for riding in.
Just ordered myself a set of Fox Antifreeze, see how those go- Fox make great gloves but I think these might be a wee bit overcomplicated. £20 though, can't complain.
I think I might be looking for an "autumn" glove, waterproof and wind resistant but not too warm, and still offering good feel and protection- any suggestions?
Any glove with a liner that pulls out when you take it off should be named, shamed then thrown on a bonfire, ideally along with its "designer".
I've been using Chiba Performers (now called drystar) for the last 6 years and found them both warm and dry.
I'd have no reservation recommending them.

Go one size up though, i'm usually med but have to go for large
loving endura lobsters atm (now made by pearl izumi)
excellent gloves - sealskinz couldnt keep something dry in an oven absolute turd in my experiance - mines are currently drying out in the airing cupboard after wednesdays neeps ride ....
aldi gloves are good but when it gets really cold they aint much cope -- fine down to 0 imho ....or for an hours ride - anything more and the hands feel it - i do have 2 pairs of these though i do like em for spring/autumn riding or wet summer rides
I've been using specialized sub zeros for the past two winters, great adaptable, warm glove and kept my hands warm in temps down to -10. Only issue I have with them is waterproofing - they won't stand up to an hour in torrential rain for example.
