Does any of you guys have any recommendations for thermal gloves that actually work? Namely for cycling. The journey to work is 12 miles road riding so with the right base layers and body heat a couple of miles in I can cope with any cold we have faced in recent years everywhere but my hands and fingers which only a few minutes in can become really painful. Have tried various motor cross thermal or cold weather version gloves but already this year im suffering. A bit of dexterity is needed for drink bottle,gears, brakes etc so I've found most ski gloves a bit too cumbersome. Any help much appreciated. Ta

Use to be something called thinsulate.

I bought these a couple of years ago.

It says- "Comfortably work your phone, MP3 player or laptop mouse pad with warm hands". That's good, because I haven't yet come across any warm gloves that would allow me to work my iPhone/iPad with them on. Cycling is not the issue because I'm just a regular car-ist and an Apple-ist with my frozen hands in winter. I'll check the ones for the ladies, and get a pair.

I use the Endura Night Vision gloves in really foul/cold conditions and they work fine.

Lobster style gloves are meant to be warmer than traditional gloves eg these

I always have cold hands but a usually warm everywhere else. Bought some really expensive northface gloves to get the digits nice and warm and they are still cold. If you suffer from cold hands the same as me no gloves I found make a difference.

Mits would be the best shout.

and mittens warmer still

there is a reason why 100% of climbers who reach the summit of Everest wear mittens

I work in a cold store. We use these. A pair of thermal liners, then thermal gloves. You can get a good hour before you start to feel the cold.
Mittens are best, but as you say, a bit cumbersome for cycling.

Bought some cheap ones, they don't your hand breath so no matter the weather your hands bake

Matteeboy

My hands still aren't working properly after a dawn surf. Wetsuit glove time...
Sealskinz stuff is good BTW; a good shout!

Another vote for Sealskinz but I have seen heated gloves with battery packs on wires that run up the arms of the jacket into a pocket.

IV not bothered with this sort of malarky,since I don't windsurf below freezing point but others use something like this

I've used this sort of stuff, and found it useless. Ok, you do that snap thing, they warm up to warm your hands. But they do go cold in a bit, then what do you do. Wait for it to go cold until you snap that thing in it again. Ok, but by then, your hands are so frozen that you can't snap sod all.

When I used to cycle I had some cycling gloves - maybe thinsulate - which weren't very thick, but they were fine. They didn't soak up water which helped.

Cheers for all that! Like the look of a lot of those and am thinking I will try some Mittens aswell as it's only fairly short rides not a lot of gear changing I think I could manage.

Seem to have the same prob mate. Spent a fortune on various 'thermal' gloves. Will get testing a pair of mittens.

Buy something meant for cycling or motorcycling or if budgeting, maybe try seal skinz liner gloves with the marigold idea...

A combination of liner gloves and normal thinsulate gloves didn't work for me. Too much wooly gappy stuff in those thinsulate gloves.
