Its finally got too cold to wear my Fox Sierra gloves every day. They're great for mountain biking: enough padding and flexible, but they're more of a spring/autumn glove. My full-on Altura winter beasties may be toasty, but they're stiff as, well, a stiff thing.

I need a compromise. The Specialized BG winter MX glove look pretty nifty on Wiggle. Ayone any ideas?

Hmmm... I was just about to reccomend the full on Altura winter thingy's I bought the other day, until I read the rest of your post...

They do some less full on ones as well though, try www.zyro.eu.com . They seem to have a pretty comprehensive range.

Either that, or stop being a big soft southern shandy!

There is another thread on this that is only a few days old - but what you want are dirt cheap and really skinny thermal liners for you fox gloves - about £2 from outdoor shops - and perfect.

ooh.

sounds like a solution.

thanks goat-lover.

Dave,
just had a look at Zyro, mine are the old version of the Pilots.

I think mine are the Tempest. There are definitely a couple of lighter winter gloves though.

Fox Polar Paws?

Either neoprene type gloves are great (spesh used to make a lengendary one)
Or if it is colder windstopper fleece, such as gore bike wear make are superb considering how thin they are.

the classic old spesh neoprene gloves are the best wet weather gloves i've ever come across. mine are still going strong, even though a bit ragged. spesh don't make them anymore, but i'm sure a firm like caratti make a copy of them. i've also got some very thin northwave ones made of some funky waterproof windproof stuff.they work really well, not sure what they're called. black with a nw logo on them.

Polaris are good. Breathable, warm and plenty flexible.
