Gloves for colder weather

[lph]

Helene, I have the classic Swix gloves in the photo, and like them. I'm used to and like the long cuffs, I don't like a gap at my wrists once it gets cold enough to start covering up. But I have "fat hands" and can wear shorties down to quite low temperatures.

Thank you for your reply. I will try to see where in the area I can get gloves like those. If not, I guess any long fingers will have to do. It's not like I'd cycle 2000km in the cold. hihi

Down to -5 degrees C, which we've had some mornings this wk., I just wear a pair of long gloves with some padding, but not too thin. Sorry I haven't followed up on the brands. I buy several prs. on discount whenever something fits me properly and good for hand protection.

Down to -10 degrees C and colder, I must wear my winter lobster claw gloves or something thicker, since I have some Raynauld's Syndrome in my fingers. They do get cold faster compared to 15 yrs. ago. I ride as cold as -24 degrees C in winter. So when you get quite cold, you will choose warmth, durability, water repellency --regardless of brand, how cool it looks.

OMG...-24c. No way you'll see me on a bike. haha I'll be on my trainer, or snowshoes (but at warmer celcius). -24c we stay by the fireplace. haha

My LBS has a 50% sale on almost everything tomorrow (but bikes). Since we know him well he told hubby and I to get there before this week to avoid the crowd.

So I got myself some gloves that are good as down as 7c. That's good enough for me. Especially at half price. i'm rarely cold to the hands anyway so it should be good for me. I did not want the super thick gloves they had. So I took an in-between. Made by Specialized.

Also got some leg/arm warmers while I could benefit from that 50% sale.

Tomorrow should be 12-14c. I will need to wear those long covers. I should be good. But now it is raining and yacky out there. Viva Fall!!!
