Winter Gloves

Nice crisp morning for the commute today, but got me thinking about full-finger gloves. Anyone have some to recommend that they're particularly satisfied with? They don't need to be waterproof as long as they keep you warm when they're wet.

I had Sealskinz waterproof winter gloves for years and they did the job. On crisper days I tend to wear a liner glove under them. That makes movement quite restricted though. They have since given up the ghost so I bought a pair of these recently. Although I have not had cause to use them yet..

@Rottenhat.

This is what I used all last winter.

Very comfy and incredibly warm and windproof, while at the same time being light and skintight. Your hands will get wet on the very wet days, but you will stay warm. Great grip also, plus gel padding.

I got them in Cyleways last year (circa €40).
Will be getting a new pair soon.

I have a pair of BBB ones which I DON'T really recommend, my finger tips still got numb in them. Can't remember the exact ones at the moment, will look when I get home and edit this - will be trying something different this year I think when it get's past about october. Usually I'm ok in shorts and short gloves till halloween.

I find the BBB Aquashields to be ok... no glove has really worked brilliantly for me but they have been better than most. I am open to being told about any better ones ! By the way, they work a lot better if you use gloveliners. I have a set of ultrathin gloves that go under your main gloves, got them in Decathlon, and they work great.

Thinsulate spongy gloves from your local Dunnes Stores for about 5 Euro. They get heavy in wet conditions but they are very flexy and dont sqeeze your fingers. I used them all last winter on some long spins in cold conditions and found them very good and hard wearing.

I also used sealskinz last winter and found them pretty effective. One word or warning though: in my experience they're not waterproof but they will keep your hands warm even if they get wet.

Got a pair of those last week, good value, from here.

Would go along with this - bought a pair of Sealskinz last winter not completely waterproof but they keep the fingers warm - which is a big thing for me bacause I have poor circulation
