[Closed] 'Not quite winter' gloves...

I've just bought a (replacement) set of Endura Strikes for the conditions you describe. Not a full-on winter glove but too warm for 6 months of the year. The last set lasted 6 years before finally giving up on me.

Thanks, but I refuse to give money to Endura. Everything I've had from them bar my original MT500 tights from years ago has simply fallen apart.

I run quite hot and love my pearl izumi pro softshell lite gloves, I find them good for around 0-5 degrees, above that I have some casteli roubaix backed gloves and for below zero I have some insulated pearl izumi gloves, but I hate insulated gloves.

I have the Alp-X 2.0 and they are very good for all but the coldest/wettest days. Excellent feel yet good protection from wind.
Edit:
My first pair lasted three years of fairly intense use over autumn-late spring before wearing out at the finger seams that touch the brake levers. I bought another pair exactly the same as I liked them so much. Now on their second season and still wearing well

Edit: Should learn to read, really.

Anyway, I have bought some, but not used them yet as not got cold enough. Stitching/layup seems quite agricultural, but sure they'll work ok. Went for slightly bigger size than usual, so I could get some liner gloves in there.

FWIW: The liners are these ones off eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130456612114

Assos Factory Outlet had some of their Insulator gloves cheap a few weeks back, picked up a pair and very impressed. Got some merino liners to go underneath if it's really cold.

Royal Celsius, I have 3 pairs now to make sure I don't have to look for a replacement for a while.

Pearl Izumi Cyclone

They do change the design each year so you need to check. I've had 3 pairs over many years of daily commute wear through all but the coldest winter days. Middle pair had bulky gel, most recent don't - much better.

DeFeet Dura. (The people who make woolie boolie socks) All I use until it gets warm again.

Scott minus gloves - windstopper back, all one layer, 0 padding with thin palm (possibly clarino?). I tend to get very cold hands, and have found these to be really excellent. They do fit very snug. so size up if you want to wear a liner glove underneath for proper winter.

Planet X Flanders - I use them more than my Endura, Spesh etc.
£10 - got to be worth a try?

Castelli Lightness?

100% do some semi-winter gloves for £20

2nd the PX Flanders glove, really good for the money.

I got some of the older Specialized Deflect and they are perfect for the weather/temp you describe.

Not too thermal, and with a windproof layer. They do alright in a bit of rain too.

Thanks all, much appreciated - I shall do some mulling. The Flanders sounds like it's worth a look at any rate.

Those Flanders are a bargain, very happy with mine (recommended here), just go a size or 2 up! As the fitting chart is nonsense

Altura night vision. But if those PX ones are anywhere near good at that price, I'm all ears.

I love these gloves. If it's above freezing and dry they are great! Around 10° they are nice even when soaking wet.

Mind that they "work" the best when you work hard - not the gloves to wear in cold when standing still 😉
