Recommend me some nice gloves

[nigelbb]

My partner & I went out today intending to ride for about an hour on our new pedelecs. I lated about 10 minutes as my hands were so perishing cold. It's my birthday so my partner ever desperate to find a present for the man who has everything said she would buy me some cycling gloves. Does anyone have any recommendations. The only pair of gloves that I own are knitted woollen ones. Nice & warm but far to bulky for grabbing handlebars. I recall many moons ago when I road a large motorcycle that I had silk inner gloves inside my gauntlets. Those might still be an option for extra warmth but I'm betting that technology has advanced in the last 45 years so thin, light, warm & well tactile.
Suggestions?

I cannot recommend Aldi Ski gloves enough, but also a snood is just as important.

As a year round commuter of over a decade regardless of weather..... Yes, get these. I have had aldi versions but I think these are better quality. Oddly they are not as warm as their retro reflective version. Both come up very small. Order bigger than you think by a fair chunk

Personally I only use undergloves when below zero but thats a personal thing. I'm always the guy in the office who is boiling hot when half the people are keeping their coats on indoors!

Decathlon do some great, effective and cheap under gloves

Personally, I find undergloves worse than not using them. Air is a very good insulator. If you wear any gloves that are too tight, they cut down the blood supply and your hands get really cold. I guess undergloves work as long as you have over-size outer gloves and the undergloves are nice and loose. Basically, don't think your hand will be warmer if you squeeze in some undergloves.

Wool is no use as you have found out. wind stop fleece works for me even if they get wet, I use those thin one size stretchy gloves underneath when it's well below freezing.
vfr400 is correct, you have to get gloves which aren't to tight.

The lobster carnac glove is very warm as K has mentioned you will need at least the next size up as they are as tight as hell to get on. I used the glove guide on PlanetX and bought the L size still to small to get on easily.
For under gloves you need silk ski ones which are light and very warm but not needed with the lobsters.

I'm a fair weather leisure cyclist. If it's freezing the bike will stay in the shed. Thanks for the suggestion on the Crab Hand Winter Gloves for warm as they might be they are a bit too extreme & don't look like they would so easy operate gear change & touch screen. My partner suggested they look as they you would wear them while cleaning up a nuclear accident.

I'll take a look at wind stop fleece ones. Any particular brand?

I’ve used Sealskinz for a long while and they are excellent.

Every sizeable town in France has a Decathlon & even though there has been a big increase in their UK stores in recent years my nearest is 40 miles away. I don't think that I have been to a store in the UK but the French ones are great.
BTW I just checked the receipt & in store these gloves were €9.99 not the €13 price on the website.

I have had Decathlon stuff delivered to my local Asda before.
