They are made by Gore and their stuff is very good. Those ones are Goretex so your hands will stay dry but you may find that they will also sweat. For very cold conditions they will be fine.

If, however, your hands run warm, you may find the Windstopper ones may suit. They are not waterproof but kept my hands dry for a couple of hours in fairly heavy rain.

With a fiver off, I may just have to treat myself! Thanks for the link, bikechain.

CG, not too worried about sweaty hands, my circulation seems to cut off at the wrists 🙂 Think I'll give them a go but good to know about the Windstoppers too, Cheers.

Also, Gore products last a long time for me and that includes gloves.

If you search, you may find good deals on Windstopper ones but with a fiver off the Countdown ones, you can't go wrong. 🙂
