sub 30 degree gloves

[c-lo]

what are you guys wearing in sub 30 deg weather? I'm looking for a pair of warm gloves that I can wear in the 20's.

For racing or training? I just wear mittens for training.

Buy a pair of "bar mitts" and never look back. My hands actually get sweaty on some rides. Another advantage is that the bar mitts keep your shifters from getting ruined due to road salt.

When it gets cold enough, I end up in my MC gauntlets. Till then, I bought a pair of 'hunter orange' work gloves with thinsulate. I really enjoy riding in the work gloves simply because they're not cycling gloves.

I have a pair of elkskin/Gore Tex gloves I bought for riding MCs that I'm thinking about breaking out too.

I don't ski or I'd have ski gloves on instead.

Race is 'Celsius' brand neoprene fishing gloves
Train is standard ski gloves.


I have bad circulation, so have 5 different sets of gloves that I have weeded it down to for temps 60+(regular gloves), 60-50, 50-40, 40-35, 35-31, 30 and below.

Some are 'fashion' gloves that weren't intended for sport, but seem to have the right wind/rain properties for different temps. I am experimenting with some glacier 'cyclocross' gloves. Looking like they will end up being 35+ race gloves. Nothing has beaten my full neoprene gloves below 35 yet, I put them on the heater in the car before heading to the line, and then stuff them in my skin suit, and swap them on right before the start (from mittens). If they start warm, once i get going, things seem to go ok

Everyone is different so I think you're going to have to experiment a little. I have crappy hands. I did my first winter ride the other day. It was 26-28F and I went with Lobster Gloves and chemical hand warmers and that wasn't enough for me. I would have been better off just riding the trainer. I do tend to acclimate some as the winter moves ahead, but prior to the sub-freezing ride, my coldest ride into mid-Dec was about 35-38F. So after 2 weeks of rest post cross, I jumped into a very cold ride (by my standards) - not smart. I used to have some mittens that were good. But now, if it is cold enough to think about mittens, I'm opting out of an outdoor road ride.

ive got top end pearl izumi gloves. love em'. somehow they got a tiny rip on the seam of 1 finger, so i might be after another pair. now theyre called p.r.o., i have the previous iteration. they can be multi use gloves, but having a fleece booger pad is a must for me.

Neoprene are the best I've ever used in the cold.

in for neoprene. I've tried all others and I'm good in just about everything until I hit sub 30 degrees. think I'll try out the neoprenes.

and on the bar mitts. i'm probably going to get a pair. and for all you mountain bikers who also want bar mitts but don't want to pay the $50+ for a set try these out for an option: Amazon.com: Kwik Tek Scooter Hand Mitts (Pair): Sports & Outdoors going to get my son a set and a set for myself too

[teoteoteo]

Also, have heard of some people having luck getting good deals on lined neoprene gloves at outdoor stores like Bass Pro Shops if it helps any

[c-lo]

teoteoteo which set do you recommend? the perfect curve or the cx gloves? think I've seen guys with the perfect curve

[adam_mac84]

The 'cyclocross' gloves are not warm/waterproof. You'd want the full neoprene ones. I get mine for $20 in the fishing section at a sports store, but the glacier ones have a fleece lining... i bet that'd be nice!

sweet. and these have the removable finger tip so I can use the iphone

Cabela's: Glacier Glove Pro Angler Slit Finger Fishing Gloves

well sizing wise I'm looking at NRS Rapid Glove at NRSweb.com or Amazon.com: Glacier Glove Premium Neoprene Slit Finger Fishing Glove: Sports & Outdoors

Craft Siberian Split finger gloves (lobster glove). Toasty in -5°C ( 23°F )

gloves & shoe covers

The Borealis is warmer but I prefer the Aquilo with some liners. More versatile and my hands are less sweaty.

Last year I used NRS Hydroskin (neoprene) gloves at Masters Worlds - these are similar to Glacier Gloves cyclocross glove and while okay, they are not what I would term warm and am going to try a pair of NRS Rogue gloves for this years event.

The best part of that glove is the removable fleece liner glove and the roominess of the shell. I will use them with regular fingerless gloves in 50F-ish weather, then add lighter "liner" gloves, then the fleece liner, tomorrow at 25F I'll be trying a thicker liner glove, the fleece liner, then the shell. I might try a windproof stretch fleece liner at some point. Very versatile, and once on the bike the weirdness of the split finger feeling vanishes.

Also, another vote for neoprene gloves from any outdoors-type shop.

One of the few cycling related products my wife has purchased me that i actually LIKE and USE are c-dale winter gloves, not sure what model they are. Keeps my hands/fingers warm @ road speeds down to 25ish degrees.

after much search I picked up a pair of Celsius fleece lined neoprene gloves last night at Walmart. I figured, what the the heck. they were $12. good price to try it out.

Gave them a test run on the way home on the highway. hand out the window, 65mpg, 30 deg (not including wind chill). hands stayed warm. my son is trying them out today on his commute to school.

[BrianN]

+1 for Glacier Gloves. I picked up a pair at the Bend USGP and am floored at how warm they are.

[c-lo]

my son borrowed mine for his ride to school yesterday. he really liked them. so much so that I went back out and got him a pair. we are going snow boarding tonight. think we'll give them a go on the mountain.
