I want some super toastie gloves for when the weather gets really cold. Mainly for commuting and road rides. I currently have some Endura Strike which are great for keeping the wet out but the recent frosty morning we had found my fingers feeling decidedly cold so I want something warmer for when it drops well below (and I'm sure it will !)

spesh,

These look like an updated version of some Pearl Izumi Lobsters I bought nearly 20 years ago. They were fantastic! Wore them out, eventually.

Now I have some Seals MTB Tech Gloves that are good, but not overly warm if ambient is below -3C. They are also a bit slow to go from bars to brakes when off-road.
For very cold road rides, I wear 2 layers of Army Surplus which look like Buffalo fibre pile inners and cordura/leather/goretex outer mitts.
Looks like boxing gloves, but OK on the road with a singlespeed.

If you get the sealskinz, I would be pleased to read what you think.
