Waterproof winter gloves - recommendations please

Participant · 13 Sep 2014 at 15:57

Hi all

So it's not exactly cold, yet, but I currently have summer gloves and on the chillier mornings last week, I've started to feel it a bit in my hands on my commute.

So I need some waterproof winter gloves. I suppose my budget is around £50, but happy to go over for a good pair.

Main thing is that they'll keep my hands relatively warm and dry for half an hour at 55mph.

Many thanks.

So the consensus is, the best way to keep your hands warm is in a muff?

Problem is I can barely look at a muff without it getting wet harhar

Cheers all. Will look into my options. I'll look into mitts / muffs, but I leave my bike outside all day when at work, so won't these just get wet and oribble inside if it rains?

Just ordered these from sportsbikeshop.

Can't be doing with mitts and overs and heated handlebars

Cheers for the recommendations all, I'll let you know how I get on with them.

Hi, the new gloves are great so far. Perfectly dry and if anything, too warm at the moment (though it's been fairly mild recently).

They're also really flexible for big gloves, making control easy.

It's too early / warm to say exactly how effective they are, but so far, against a sample size of one, they seem great

.

I don't have heated grips by the way.
