I'm after a pair of 'winter' gloves, its now the time of year to put away my fox ones and change them for something warmer and a bit more waterproof. I've had northwave's and they were shit, my mate bought Endura Deluge's last weekend and had them on today, bear in mind it was 3 degrees thismorning and he still had cold fingers. Strange eh....
Warmth is more important than out and out waterproof. Don't really want to resort to sealskins as they are a bit chunky.

Thanks in advance for any help

I use sealskins but your right , they are very clumsy to wear/change gear etc. Ideal on my SS though.

almost perfect for SS, but my SS isn't my first bike normally.... ๐Ÿ˜›
ideally looking for something like you say 'less clumsy'

Happy with my Endura Strikes - not sure how they compare to Deluges, but are nice and warm, waterproof/breathable (as much as you can expect a MTB glove to be..) and not especially bulky.

Endura Strikes I have found to be warm and noticeably more dexterous than the seal skinz. They do tend to pull the finger lining out with your hand unless you're careful though.

I have both Strikes and Sealskins Technical MTB.

The Strikes are less chunky, but that's because I only consider them Autumn / Spring gloves, def not warm enough for Winter if you get cold hands. That's what the Sealskins are for.

That said I have no problems with the SealSkins holding on, changing gear or braking?

Not had issues with liner coming out. Worth trying sizes on in a shop prior to ordering online, etc...
