do the thinsulate ones not get too warm after a few K think they're quite wooly arent they?

For the Nike ones were these alot cheaper last week thought they were only a fiver or thereabouts?

I have a really nice pair of helly hanson ones, they are very light, perfect for running.

I also saw nice icebreaker ones in snow and rock last week in dundrum, they were light merino wool.

€14 for a pair of gloves? :eek:
I got 2 pairs for €3 in Tesco last year, and they did me all winter. Nothing fancy, just a pair of thin, cheap gloves.

I paid a stupid amount of money for sealskins gloves, which were fantastic for what I wanted. (climbing through mud). They didnt sweat or overheat.

For normal use I have a pair of knitted thermal gloves by Motrax. Used to use fleece, but they made my hands sweat.

I also bought the Nike gloves in Elverys during the cold snap, nice and comfy, not too heavy and the bonus of a snot wipe... Classy!

I have a very good Adidas pair I got in John Buckleys for €14.99 (yes that's fourteen-99, TFB, euro! :rolleyes:) They are fantastic and have been washed and worn at least 100 times.
I also have 2 pairs of gloves that I got in Aldi for €2.49 per pair. Equally as good as the Adidas pair but not as good a finish.

Look out for the Aldi ones - should be in again soon.

+ 1 for the Aldis, always pocket them after about three miles though due to sweaty paws.

I am a cheapskate and wear Penneys 2 for a euro pairs of gloves. They're practically disposable.

The cheap thin wooly ones from Pennys work great for me.
Unlike the expensive ones you're not restricted to a small strip for snot forehead wiping

But that's a sign of bad gloves. A good pair of gloves will wick the sweat away from your hands. I have 2 pairs for example, the old ones are the more traditional non-sporting ones, grand for a while before I have to take them off.

The expensive purpose made sporting ones still keep my hands warm but stop them getting sweaty and uncomfortable allowing me to wear them the full distance of the run.

the ones in the nike running gear thread are very very good. They keep your hands warm but are light enough to not allow your hands to overheat and they don't allow for a build up of sweat.

+1, and much better than the cheap wooly ones which I had been using previously...

I have a pair of Hilly technical gloves that I got for €10 at the DCM '08 Expo. Despite being very thin they were warm enough to wear that year (5 deg C) and '09 (15 deg C). (tbh I only needed them for the first few miles but I left them on to avoid the stickiness of gels/sports drinks).
I also have a few pairs of the Pennys fleecy gloves which as noted above are good for this runny nose weather. I never have to take them off during a run but I tend to suffer from very cold hands.

I had this cold hand problem too. I found ginger was great for the circulation.
There's a drink you can get in natures way. It's sold in a wine bottle. Its's a dark ginger type drink. It's really nice and bizarrely heats you up nicely before a cold run.:o
