Title: Gloves for Winter
Post by: russ_clark on October 01, 2007, 06:04:05 pm: How many of you guys wear gloves for those winter mornings??
I personally have tried the Unger neoprene ones

I two have used the unger ones, they are to bulky, I keep meaning to go into a wind surfing shop as there gloves are alot thinner. I also found the unger ones made my hands colder unless I wet my hands before putting hands inside them.

so for last few years it been cold hands they get hardened to it :(

Post by: Stephen Dwyer on October 01, 2007, 11:19:59 pm: I use the unger neoprene gloves myself but I don't think they are very good. If they get a bit wet then they make my cloths really wet which can be a problem. They also are not all that warm and they rip like crazy. Mine only seem to last 3 or 4 months. My friend tried the sealskin gloves and although they did last abit longer they were not very warm and they were not really as waterproof as you would think.

Post by: chrismroberts on October 01, 2007, 11:45:40 pm: The Sealskinz ones are brilliant. Really warm, waterproof and are thin enough to use to do delicate jobs like adjusting taps, writing out cards etc.

You need the glove liners in really cold weather.

Post by: NWH on October 02, 2007, 06:53:30 pm: Sealskinz mountain bike gloves are ideal for WFP,i have yet to find a pair designed for WC that do the job as far as trad goes,if someone could make some that were completley waterproof and you could still move your fingers freely they would make a fortune.
