I know they aint waterproof but act like a wet suit so the water heats up under the gloves..

ive gortex gloves for the two/from trails but they are too bulky/hot when riding due to hard work on trails..

or maybe the cycling sealskinz ?

real use reports please folks (thumbs)

As a diver, I use the 5mm version of these during the winter for diving in the UK.

They are thick but allow enough movement to be able to tie line etc

If I was you, for riding I'd use the 3mm version to allow a bit more freedom of movement while holding the handlebars etc.

By the way, a wetsuit works by being tight and not allowing water into the suit, it provides a protective layer. It's a myth that the water inside warms up and keeps you warm. If water gets into your wetsuit, it can get out and this flushing will make you cold.

I bought a cheap pair of fishermans neoprene gloves from Aldi for under a fiver..I use them when its really wet and they do a good job ...they have flip back fingertip for forefinger which is a little annoying ........but for the money worth chucking in your tailpack

If it's really wet I use sealskinz for trail riding because they're not bad for protection, they're warm and I can get them on and off when they're wet without having any lining making life difficult.

Nice idea, at least it was when I had that idea 8:30 this morning.
So we headed out on the lanes around Thetford today, nice n dry and sunny, Oops that's a lie it was kin freezing or At least my hands were. Got drenched hands every few second from the vast amount of puddles and the cold n windy conditions just froze me fingers. Great Fun though

AndyB- which sealskinz do you use? they sell so damn many types cycle and motorbike..enduro gloves are normally short ie no cuffs :cheer:

Hommer- was that with neoprene gloves and where they a tight fit? wet cold hands in winter is no fun..concentration waynes then you crash :woohoo: ..

I use the ultragrip ones which retail at between £25 - £30 depending on where you get them and how much postage you pay.

I don't worry about buying motorbike specific ones and neoprene is pretty resilient unless you go gravel surfing at speed or punch a rock :pinch:

I have a pair of Scott Enduro gloves that are neoprene. I've had them a few years now and they are really good the problem is they are fine off road muck etc, if you come off not much friction and hold up well. but I wouldn't like to come off on tarmac etc don't think the would offer much protection.

Cheers Jim....
