Last year was the first year I needed winter riding gloves since I actually get winter up here. The pair I bought turned out to be crap. I need a pair of warm waterproof, and windproof gloves. I know a lot of them on the market claim to be just that, but who has a pair that they have tested and like?

I'm currently looking at some GORE Windstoppers that Performance carries..any other suggestions?

the high end pearl izumi ones. kinda suck for gripping the bar though. i've been using these military sur-plus ones that are called sealskinz

Last year I used the 661 winter gloves, the lighter weight of the two. They worked great when it was really cold.

I have a pair of those expensive Pearl Izumi ones. They are so frikkin warm they make my hands sweat. I don't ride enough in the winter to have put them through enough of an endurance test though, but for the times I have worn them, they certainly do a good job of keeping my hands warm.

What is this "cold" you speak of?

I got a pair of those lobster mits. I've been pretty happy with them.

The windstopper doesn't mean waterproof. You might wanna check sierra trading post or campmor. They always have kick a$$ deals on gloves.

My b/f and I have those same pair. They work really well!

I have some windstopper fleece gloves and they are definitely not waterproof. That said, I do like them a lot for cold weather riding since they keep out the wind yet are very breathable so my hands don't get too sweaty.

Get a decent pair of ski gloves that'll fit over your regular riding gloves.

Manzella glove liners with Manzella goretex outers. Good and warm, waterproof for the most part, and cheap. We sell the liners for $7 and the outers for $22. I can ride in temps down to the teens with them no problem. If you buy to sets of liners you can you alternate the dirty ones....

Heidi,
When it's really cold, I use my Cloudveil ice climbing gloves. They have a leather palm, are waterproof and really warm. They are also not clumsy. Here's the info http://www.cloudveil.com/womens/c-hand_head/handwear/F5-8030/

I have a pair of the AXO Storm gloves (mine are a couple of years old now) and they have worked great for me.

I just use north face windstopper fleece gloves, during the winter I only ride when its cold enough not to be slushy so my hands getting wet isnt even an issue. They are grippy, flexible, and breathe pretty decently. That said I only winter ride when I start wanting to ride really bad, its not something I do just for fun.

Bikey specific clothing is mostly expensive crap. If it wasn't for chamois in shorts i wouldn't buy anything from the biking industry cept maybe for summer socks and of course clipless shoes....

Look for X-country skiing gloves, usually can fine em on sale on REI or some other outdoorsy store.

For my ten year sentence in Illinois I found I like using Sno-Mobile Gloves, Think about they are designed to grab a handle bar and throttle, and are rated for like 40 below or something, I bought a pair about 6 years ago from a polaris dealer in The U.P. they cost me close to $100 but they always kept me warm

I use cheap work gloves until it gets really cold, at which point I switch over to motorcycle style winter riding gloves with long gauntlets.

Stylish it ain't, but it works.
