Its that time of year again!
So.... cost effective but not feeless?
I don't care for Gore-tex or fancy marketing acronyms. I'd even consider army gloves if they worked effectively (after all a trigger is like a brake lever) 😉
Aldi ski or bike gloves, sometimes too hot.
just got a pair of these;

they're not quite as 'moto' as they look in real life. Not had reason to wear them yet but they seem well built.
I've used Specialized Radiants previously with good success.
i am sat typing wearing a pair of outdoor design tyrolean wool gloves.
snugalicious.
swat hewrwe tyupoikng ink mittrens.
i picked up a pair of Dakine Stormrider Goretex gloves from [url= https://www.surf-sales.com/surfshop/shopexd.asp?id=1772 ]Surf-Sales[/url] recently. have only used them a couple of times so far but they seem really warm & should be waterproof with their goretex lining (not that that is your thing). only issue i have found so far is that the inner lining can be a bit fiddly to put back on if you're not careful when you take them off the time before.
excellent value @ £30 for a glove that retails at £60+ though.
I have a pair of Chiba gel winter gloves and they are awesome,I suffer really bad with cold hands but these are very good. They are not waterproof though.
Peachos those dalkine gloves is it just the goretex lining which is waterproof?
errr...i presume so yeah. usually the outer shell though isn't it?
I found any glove was warm enough as long as its dry, the moment you bring moisture into the equation things go downhill.
Rode Cannock Chase in -10degC and was fine untill I wiped the sweat off my forehead with my fingers. The next climb they were so cold it was agony!
I've used Specialized Radiants previously with good success.
ace gloves
often just too hot!
though still prefer lobster gloves
I also got a set of chiba's very good glove, I also have a set of seal skinz which I find slightly thicker and warmer but less feel than the chiba's recommend both
I use some Craft running gloves, very light and no padding but I quite like them.
dhb Amberley gloves are fantastic. Great fit and nice and warm. Just over £20 so cheaper than most as well.
I got some Mountain equipment fleece wind stopper`s i really like them they are really warm and not really thick.I also have some seal skins which are equally good
Another Aldi fan here - not the most breathable, but coped with commuting last winter - I think we were close to minus 8 some mornings - have only ever leaked in one torrential downpour, and not that bulky.
Not bad for £5.99!
Recently got a pair of Lizard Skin Blizzard and they are very warm but not sweaty, tried them recently when it was close to 0 in Edinburgh. Very good VFM. They have much more feel than Spesh Radiants I had before and are as warm. Should be waterproof as assured by highly trained expert at the lbs (druidh :-)). I do have a Chiba gel ones as well, they are made with windstopper so not waterproof and not as warm as the Blizzards but sooo nice and soft inside, better feel as not as insulated. TKMaxx have winter gloves on display now so You might be able to find something suitable there as well.
I'm a big fan of the Endura strike waterproof gloves, have been using the same pair for a few years now, been through the wars and still going strong 🙂
Got some Endura Strikes last winter and very pleased with them.
What have you got against Goretex then hora?
Have always worked for me and my paws get bloomin' freezing. 🙂
+1 for the Endura Strikes. Got mine off fleabay 22quid for BNWT. Well pleased with them.
Any glove that's slightly too big - with a silk liner (£8 or so on eBay) underneath!
