Gloves for colder weather

[Blueberry]

I have an older version of these (without the padding - I think it's a nice addition). They work well (for me) from low 60's (where I'll be warm) into the 40's (where I'll start wishing for more). There's an older version on sale (depending on your size).

I wear thin wool glove liners under Bontrager windshell gloves, which are unlined. This works for me down to 40 degrees, and below that I don't ride. It's a bit inconvenient dealing with two layers when you need to take them off and put them back on again, but I like the versatility -- if you start to warm up, you can take the liners off.

I love my Ibex Kilo II gloves. I've got a bit of Raynaud's, so if it isn't going to get much above 40°F for the duration of a ride I may need something additional, but they're plenty for a ride that starts below freezing if it's sunny and will warm up within a couple of hours. They're comfortable up to 60°F or so since they breathe, though they might get a little sweaty.

Remember that a lot of keeping your extremities warm actually happens in your core. Sometimes an extra base layer is the best thing I can do to keep my fingers warm.

Very true. Also I find that warm wrists and ankles are necessary for comfortable hands and feet.

I tend to have very cold hands and feet when I'm not riding my bike, and I need very warm mittens for driving or walking around in winter. But I haven't had much trouble keeping my hands warm when I ride, and except for the time of year when the sun is really low (within a few weeks of the winter solstice) I've been surprised at how easily I can keep warm above the waist. (My legs and feet are a different issue, however, and I needed warmer tights and booties than most of the friends I rode with last winter.)

All great suggestions! The great thing about the SWIX gloves that I forgot to mention is that they have long cuffs at the wrists, so no more drafts up your sleeves. Truly the best gloves around..

Yup, I wear Swix XC ski gloves as well as soon as I need something warmer than shorties. That's mostly because they're versatile and cheapish and I already have them for skiing, but I'm also happier with them than the cycling specific gloves I've tried. When it gets really cold I go to lobster gloves, I have thinnish ski ones from Swix and thicker bike ones from PI.

Was looking into this at our sports store today as our days will be getting colder soon too.

Which would be better for cold but not freezing temperatures (not riding when it is way too cold). But a nice fall ride - even without sun can be fun.
