Whos using what?
Im needing new ones ..................

I got a pair of the http://www.specialized.com/gb/gb/ftr/gl ... s/sub-zero for properly cold conditions. Only been out in around -1 in them so just used the outers. The inner lets you use your phone.

Glacier Gloves Perfect curves. £25 on eBay.

I use the Sealskinz mtb gloves. Some don't rate them but I've used the same pair for 95% of my winter riding for a good 5-6 years and they're still going strong. I have separate silk liners for when it gets proper cold.

I've had these for the last year. They're great, best I've used of all the pairs I've had over the past 20 years. I use them with a merino liner. Stu has a review on the blog, iirc

£5 Planet-X ones this year, but havent been extreme tested yet

I have to agree ... the Glacier gloves are superb. They're the only glove I've found to be FULLY waterproof and allow you to put them back on again with damp hands.

Thats why I replaced my sealskins. They weren't 100% waterproof and getting them on and off with cold damp fingers was a right PITA. The glaciers are nice and easy to clean too!

How do the Glacier gloves come up size wise Stu ?

I've got what I would describe as 'normal' sized hands and I wear medium (I mostly wear M in any glove). They fit well but there isn't enough room in there for liner gloves ... if in doubt or between sizes, I'd size up.

Ta :)

Just found a sizing guide on the Window clean centre for Glacier
gloves

Subjective question I know but those of you who have Glacier gloves what temp do you rate them down to?

Ian do you suffer cold hands or do liners let you get down to proper sub zero temperatures in them. I take it you sized up to account for liners so do they also fit ok without them?

I found that I got really sweaty hands in the Glacier gloves.
Temp was about 0*c.
Following day they were sopping inside from the previous night.
May find them on classifieds in the coming weeks.

If your a medium or large could be interested

Large

Any other waterproof glove would be wet to put on after a days riding, so the Glacier gloves are no worse in that respect. The point of vapour barriers is that you don't get the wicking and consequent cooling effect that arises with other gloves. Merino liners make huge difference to comfort in my view for when your hands do get damp. I find glacier gloves good for about -5 to +3. Below -5, I'll use my bar mitts. Above +3, I'll use the same merino liners with a pair of Specialized Deflect gloves. Below freezing, I find that my hands don't tend to sweat much anyway.

Size - I think I went for a medium, but I don't have big hands. The merino liner glove is very thin, and doesn't require an increase in size to accommodate them.

Well a new pair of gloves just dropped through the letter box this morning, Endura Luminite Thermal Gloves.
They feel like their more suited to road use that off road, all fabric construction with effective silicone grips on the palms/fingers, size wise feels a little tight but I guess this is down to the insulation and the fact that their new. So I "think" Im still looking for MTB'ing type winter gloves.

By the way I have pair of Seal Skin waterproof gloves (http://www.sealskinz.com/UK/gloves/kj44 ... black.html) for sale. I wore them for about 15 dry miles commuting before realising that they were too short for my ET like middle finger.

£25 posted if any one is after a pair. :D

I got a pair of them a few weeks ago, so far they seem ok but not been out in heavy rain with them yet.
