I have these gloves but riding these days at cold nights, my fingers are going numb and can't continue riding.

I think these gloves are not for very cold temp, do you have such gloves for cold temp? How different are they?

Today I tried motorcycle gloves(not winter gloves) today, they were useable than I expected(except smooth shift), I started to feel numb after 30 minutes(better than above ones though).

(I think it will be difficult to shift with motorcycle winter gloves)

(I ride for about an hour after work for fitness).

Thanks for your response! I'm going to find handlebar muffs which will fit my bike too!

Glove liners under your normal gloves...job done

RevIt Grizzly windstoppers are good.

These are the absolute dogs bollocks, and at this price, a total bargain!

Fabulous winter gloves, but a bit too warm for spring or autumn.

Do the world a favour, don't use motorcycle gloves!

They aren't designed to be sweated in and will end up stinking like a homeless persons foreskin.

I bought cheap inner gloves, and wore them under motorcycle gloves.
It really worked well. Thanks Thumbs Up
If it became too cold in Jan. or Feb. I may go for handle bar muffs.

Thanks for your response! I read some reviews of bicycle gloves designed for 0 degree, he was saying even with 0 degree gloves his fingers going numb. I was a little bit disappointed at the review because they cost around 10000yen.
So I will use motorcycle gloves + Inner gloves, and I will wash them from time to time.

They make things called "pogies" for canoe and kayak paddles which are essentially like mini handlebar muffs.

A google shows they also make cycle pogies so try searching for this rather than muffs.

For the cot of £20-30 (4500-5500 yen according to google) it's worth buying some cycling specific gloves.

Any decent pair will keep your hands nice and warm Thumbs Up

Here is my hybrid with Tuccano Urbano motorcycle muffs:

This with motorcycle gloves is massively better than cycling specific glvoes, I would say.
I'm tempted to add heated grips (with a lithium battery) so I don't need to worry about gloves too much even on really cold nights.

I've tried all sorts of cycling-specific gloves (e.g. Sealskinz winter), but now I wear a pair of thick Columbia ski gloves for deep winter rides - my coldest ride is from Bangor through Snowdonia and down to Basingstoke at the end of January every year, leaving at lunchtime and arriving early morning. By Kidderminster my bottles are normally frozen solid and don't defrost until I'm home, to give an indication of temperature. I never have cold fingers (except for the few minutes after a stop).

They look horribly bulky, but work well with Campag ergo shifters, SRAM Red and Dura-Ace downtube shifters mounted on tri-bars.

Left of field option = wetsuit gloves

Castelli do them in a bike specific cut (Diluvio) but generic 3 to 5mm neoprene gloves will be a fair bit cheaper.

I've got the Castelli Diluvio deluxe and a pair of sealskinz winter gloves and the Castelli's are every bit as warm within 5 minutes of riding and of course they are entirely water and windproof. The main benefit is that they are barely any thicker than a summer glove and thus give plenty of feel and don't get in the way on the levers. They are also super easy to clean, just dunk them in the sink or washing machine. Unlike motorcycle or winter gloves, drying them is a non issue.

Two main downsides, stopping for a puncture is unpleasant, they will feel bone cold and damp when you put them back on and will take another 5-10 minutes to get warm again.

You also have to remember to soak them at least every other ride, they get seriously smelly if you don't.

I do not know what speeds you are travelling at but I have never needed padded or thermal lined gloves on a bicycle and I have rode in thick snow. Though I think this might come back and bite me with arthritis in my fingers and knees when I am old.

I don't have speedo on mine but I think it's about 15-17mph. I haven't tried riding in snow yet. I think I'm sensitive to cold.
