Might be time for some new ones , these are on offer at £26 , they are knitted which sounds a bit weird for keeping water out ? I’ve got a pair of their waterproof socks and they have been excellent just wondering if anybody had tried these at all ?
Looking at the Sealskinz equivalent not only are they dearer but most reviews say the sizing and fit is really out of whack .

They are pretty good, mine shrank in the wash though so I gave them to Mrs Dubs

Jim what are they like for size ? I’m normally a Medium , looking on their size chart Mediums are big enough round but not long enough .

Pretty tight to start with if remember correctly

Do you mean these ones? https://singletrackmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/review-showers-pass-crosspoint-waterproof-knit-gloves/

That pair is still being used pretty regularly and is only marginally less waterproof than they were when I reviews them. I’ve also just got a pair of Dexshell ones to test that are very similar but with a fluffier inside.

Hannah , thanks for that , all sold out now unless you've got shovels for hands .I think the Velcro thing would soon get old anyway 🙄

First wet ride with them yesterday but it wasn’t that cold so found them a bit sweaty which was fine until I stopped for a bit, took them off and after that struggled to get them warm again.

I can recommend the Stolen Goat winter gloves as a similarly warm and dry place to spend a wet winter bike ride. Fit appears to be normal rather than snug.
