MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
so it's getting colder and we are all getting excited about winter and I got thinking about those crappy Endura gloves I wore last winter - great on the bike, then turn themselves inside out/fingers get stuck etc in the wash and then I fight for 20 mins to get the inners back to the right place......just for the dame thing to happen next time
so has anyone found a good warm (like subzero warm) waterproofish, not bulky glove that will actually remain intact with the inners where they should be when taking off and washing etc ???
oh well, must stil be summer 😆
i loved my aldi specials last year.
The inners on my sealskinz do that, it really gets on my nerves.
They are warm though and waterproof.
I've had a pair of Sealskinz for the past couple of years, waterproof and with a fully attached inner. Warm enough too.
They're past their best, so bought these:

Hopefully as good.
The Aldi ones are brill but not quite as warm as iainc seems to require. I think he lives in Scotland.
The Sealskinz technical ones are certianly too warm for anything much above freezing, and so I haven't ridden in mine a great deal - but they haven't done the annoying inside-out thing to me yet.
oh well thats were im from so better not waste ma dosh then
pearl izumi cyclone are good on their own as a spring / autumn glove (down to about 5 or 6 degrees) - not bulky at all and good cuffs which cover the wrist. with a liner they are also decent as a winter glove too - did me fine in the subzero conditions of last winter with an underglove underneath.
Any gloves i've tried with built in liners i've always had problems after taking them off or washing them
oh well thats were im from so better not waste ma dosh then
No, don't get me wrong. They're excellent, buy two pairs.
They're just not what I'd wear in subzero temperatures.
Fox Antifreeze are brilliant... The liner does come out, but it's supposed to, the gloves come in half for "just a bit cold" and "proper cold". Yet still have really good feel on the bars. I've got poor circulation so keeping hands warm is tricky, these do it but thanks to the 2-part option they're not ridiculously hot the rest of the time. (I do have a pair of Aldi ones as well but the Foxes are warmer, and nicer to ride in)
Any glove whose liner turns inside out is just not fit for purpose, it's bloody ridiculous.
Any slightly bigger than normal glove with a silk liner.
i'll pop down in the mornin anyhoo as i wana have a peek at the pumps,i think i might get my dads big fireman gloves they should keep the frost at bay.......might not be able to grip the bars though haha
I think he lives in Scotland
indeed 😆
I get by with Spesh Deflects down to maybe 3 or 4 degrees, but a lot of last winters rides, esp night ones were below zero. The Endura gloves are great in these conditions when they are working, but the time and frustration of getting the liners back in just is sooooo annoying
ALDI + 1 and if not quitr warm enough use liners too , i even use a pair as work gloves every day and they just wont wear out 😀 were my £25 Endura gloves have not even lasted the summer ❓
I'm thinking of going a bit lateral and using some snowboarding pipe gloves for wet/cold conditions. They're not terribly waterproof, but neoprene'y/wetsuity. Anyone tried this kind of approach?
+1 for the Fox Antifreezes!
hey stevo - I have some decathlon winter gloves made of neoprene - pretty good although they do get sweaty.
turn themselves inside out/fingers get stuck
this is standard on winter gloves!
those dhb ones do look pretty good - unfortunately no XL left though -(
A guy I knew - ex yachtsman - swore by 'marigold' dish washing gloves ?? Didn't fancy going out with the pink ones i found under the sink so never found out but I would guess a liner underneath and that waterproof covering you'd have it all covered...
would the marigolds no get a wee tad sweaty and that would just make yer fingers baltic when the sweat gets cold,
How is getting the liners back in difficult? I only ask as my Spesh gloves have liners and I just put the liners on my hands then my hands in the outers. Very easy.
the liners are attached at the cuff, so they come inside out in the wash , then you spend ages trying to poke the right bit into the right finger - there was a big post about it last winter and seemed to be common to many winter glovesHow is getting the liners back in difficult?

Altura Night Visions are my glove of choice at the mo. I also suffer with Raynauds(or was that on another thread) so really need warm gloves.
Make sure you get the newer batch, or this years as there was a dodgy batch which shoul dall have been replaced.
Those DHBs are s**t, one of mine turned itself inside out on the second ride then proved impossible to get back in, I ended up having to cut the liner out entirely with a penknife so I could get the glove back on (in a hailstorm, up a mountain). Shame, they weren't bad for the 4 hours they'd lasted up til then. Wiggle didn't even bother arguing or asking for them back, just gave an immediate refund as soon as I said what'd happened, not a good sign.
I absolutely swear by the Lizard Skins Blizzard gloves, however can't comment on being waterproof. Kept my hands nice and warm all winter, even used them for work. Hope you find a suitable pair.
thanks all. Reckon I'll visit the LBS's next week and see what is on offer.
