My trusty strikes have lasted me 5 years. Probably about to buy another pair but is there anything else I should look at. Nothing too bulky but warm and waterproof.
Bump
Never had Endura Strike gloves but i really rate the Sportful stretch softshell gloves, none bulky but warm and water resistant.
I bought mine from Wiggle though they don't have them in stock at present.

Unless they've redesigned them for this season, I'd go with another pair of Strikes.
Had mine nearly years and still going strong. The only negative thing about them is that they aren't that warm once the temperature drops below freezing, so best used with a pair of thin liners.
Depends how much water proofing and thermal quality you want. Best out there IMO without going over to something that's too bulky is the Gore Countdown. Very grippy too and I got two and half seasons out my last pair.
Aldi winter gloves. Seriously. Cheap, warm, fit well. They're not overly breathable but for £5 a pair I live with that.
TBH my Strikes were poorly insulated and not waterproof, thought they were faulty, Endura said that's just what their waterproof winter gloves are like 🙄 Switched to Fox Antifreeze, which aren't very good waterproofwise (moronically, the water-resistant layer is [i]inside[/i] the insulating shell) but good with cold and have excellent feel.
I've got a set of perfect curves for proper cold/wet, but they're terrible for feel, squishy and thick- if anyone can find me something warmer than the Antifreezes, waterproof, and nonbulky I'll buy 'em a pint.

The Aldi gloves I have are good value, but the liners tend to pull out when I pull my hands out. Not really what you want with frozen fingers when you're trying to get them back in.
In fact I'd probably say I prefer the workwear gloves from Aldi... (with a splash of waterproofing spray, also available from Aldi)
Can't go wrong for a fiver for either though!
As for other recommendations, I'm still on the lookout for something fully (or at least close as possible to being) waterproof myself. It seems to be the Holy Grail.
Aldi winter gloves +1. Never had issues with the liner personally.
I have mild(ish) Reynauds, and the Aldi gloves have kept my hands working and comfortable better and longer than anything else I've tried - way better than the Fox Antifreezes which were the next best for me.

i got some of these 2 winters ago, when i was on warfarin, and my hands were icy cold 24/7, these gloves kept me comfortable for 2 winters.
