Windproof Winter Gloves
Postby ilovemybike » Wed Oct 12, 2022 9:34 pm
I brought a pair of these - they are pretty comfortable but I'm not sure they are windproof. I haven't been able to test it in this spring weather to be able to tell.

They look pretty good, Bellwether is a pretty good brand, I've got a pair of their Nicks and are quite comfy and supportive so I can't see you doing too wrong with those. During the cold Winter Months when I was riding to work in 4C mornings at 5am, I mostly used some of my old winter Motorcycle Gloves and they were nice and toasty and water resistant.ilovemybike wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 9:34 pmDoes anyone have any recommendations for a pair of winter gloves that is windproof?

I bought a pair of those in June this year. Yes, I am in Brisbane, but this winter was the coldest since 1998 apparently. I was out in 7°C (feels like 3°C) temps and they were pretty good I thought. I usually ride in half-finger gloves, and these Climate Controls were nice.ilovemybike wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 9:34 pmDoes anyone have any recommendations for a pair of winter gloves that is windproof?

I wouldn't go as far as saying that my hands were "toasty" after a cold morning ride, but they were quite OK, certainly not going numb. I am back on my half-finger gloves now because it is usually around 15-18°C on a ride now. Beyond 15°C I thought that that CC were starting to feel too warm.
I have probably done about 1,000km with them and they still look good - slight "furriness" on the suede, but otherwise fine. I would recommend them.

These look warmer but looks stiff. Any experience with it? I get really cold hands in the winter, if I could get something warmer that would be good.

Can’t comment on “wind resistance”, but descending Bobbin Head or Akuna etc, or any riding at a decent speed, you will feel your fingers getting cold.
What I do really like about them though, is they retain really good feel. Easy to get food out, scroll through wahoo etc

They're quite thin but add a useful layer of extra warmth for colder days. My winter gloves still can't keep me warm, but with the Merino inners, I remain "functionally cold" rather than frozen solid and unable to use my controls

However they are quite bulky so they make shifting and feeling the brake levers more difficult.
The other ones I like are Cuore winter gloves, these I got from Jet Cycles many years ago in Sydney when they had Cuore kit. Those are less bulky but also slightly less extreme winter proof.

This is a good tip. Does this make your existing gloves too tight?Mububban wrote: ↑Mon Oct 17, 2022 1:39 pmMy tip is (if the gloves allow the space), buy a pair of $20 Merino wool under gloves.

Luckily no. I've got DHB fluoro yellow winter gloves, they're not overly baggy without an under glove, but have enough room for the merino inners. The merino gloves are quite thin but definitely make a difference (it's noticeably too warm with them on as temperatures rise).
