Which gloves?

[veeeffarr]

I'm tired of buying second rate Hein Gericke shite, it's awful. Can anyone recommend a decent pair of gloves to me please? Winter or all-season, all-season preferrably, for around £70

Thanks!

My Alpinestars Drystar seem up to the job, only £20. Lack a little armour though.

With a pair of silk gloves on the inside for colder mornings, seem fine for the worst winter has to offer.

Can't rate my thrity-odd quid lobster claws highly enough. Even after I went down in them.


Of course they are Hein Gericke so probably not the items you are looking for...

Current version of my lobsters.

Mine aren't exactly the same as these as mine are heading into their third winter...

Hein Geicke sold me the only pair of truly waterproof gloves I have ever owned. Master 4 gloves.

In typical fashion, they no longer make them.

Tip for anyone. If you ever find a piece of bike gear and think "Wow! This is perfect. It fits me beautifully and fulfills its function in every way I could possibly expect." Go straight back to the shop and buy as many more of them as you can afford, you can bet your arse they'll stop making said item within a month of you buying it.

Ski gloves, the kind with a wind stopper material outside, and a removeable microfleece inner. Best possible option I'm finding at the moment. Warmer even than lobster mitts!

I got a set of trekmates Tromso 3 in 1 gloves, for £17 from tk maxx.

Theyre on the following website too, the goretex gloves look pretty good for a tenner more!

whats the deal with lobster mits are they that much warmer than 5 finger gloves ? and are they hard to use the controls with?

[TheDonUK]

I believe its due to not only a decent thermal material that they are made of but that with two fingers next to each other there is a larger amount of air that can be warmed so you retain more heat... Maybe:up:

After having a pair of nitro gloves since February 2005. yes really. They eventually started to fall apart, after about 15 offs though.

Recently replaced with a pair of RST Paws for just £13 new.

Very warm, drawstring cuffs, and a wiper to wipe rain away on the thumb. Can't recommend them enough for the price.

As loathe as I am to buy Alpinestars they do look like they fit the bill, cheers guys.

I found my Lobsters much, much warmer and although they don't give as much 'feel' as my lightweight summer gloves I did adjust in around fifteen minutes.

It was very weird in the spring when I switched back to my normal lightweights.

The lobsters allow the glove maker to use thicker insulation on the fingers where you really need it, which alongside the fingers keeping eachother warm across the gap makes them toasty warm on all but the longest runs.

When I had my spill I did split the seam on the outer on the inner part of my thumb. Hein Gericke did offer to replace it if I still had the reciept, sadly I'm not that organised.

Besides I really didn't notice a difference in its thermal properties and the waterproof layer was still intact.

I keep meaning to take stuff back there as everything I buy from them fucks up about a month later, horrible quality control
