Hi all, went for a blast today, cold but not too cold, but my fingers were freezing, so what gloves are you all using ?
cheers

Maplins sell some heated ones. I have been using 3m padded ones they are a little too bulky though

Use bikers gloves, an ex-biker gave me a set he didn't need any more and they are the warmest gloves I have (that I can still move my hands in).

Hi Dunk

I got these from a bike shop in Donny. Work a treat as they are not to thick so you dont loose much dexterity and they keep your hands warm. Think they cost me about £25.

PS. Let me know when you want your steering wheel back and ill pop it over next time the weather is better.

I have got some Thinsulate Ski-ing gloves, had them about ten years (I think). Elasticated around the wrist with a velcro tightener and an elasticated shroud to the rear that comes about half-way(ish) up the wrist. Lurvely and warm and very comfortable.

Linky do

I use leather flying gloves with a silk liner inner glove. You keep the dexterity for buttons etc, and your hands stay warm enough.

Im using winter mountain biking gloves and liners which are ok you keep on hand under your thigh a fair bit, but only becuase i have them from biking.
