Recommendations - Cold Weather Gloves/Mits
Hello,
I live in Canada, my full fingers cycling aren't making it anymore, I went to three local bike clothing shops and none of them had very good gloves/mits and the prices were ridiculous for inferior products. I would like to have gel in the palms and may be the split mits; however, I am open to suggestions on this. Recommendations please, with a link to a store on the Internet I can buy them for lowest price, if possible, thank you. |

MEC is a reasonably good bet for these sorts of things. For Vancouver's conditions, the best rainy-day gloves going are the MEC cycling/paddling gloves. They're neoprene kayaking gloves, but the cyclists wouldn't stop buying them, so they got rebadged. In the rain, they'll keep you warm even after they stop keeping you dry. They're almost too waterproof, and I wouldn't recommend them except on a day cold enough that wet hands would mean cold hands. For dry or snowy conditions, there are probably better choices, but they work fine for me in any local conditions I've encountered, and that includes a day of heavy snowfall. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "My scenarios may give the impression I could be an excellent crook.

Hi I went to MEC and they did not have anything good, just the Wombat
gloves/mits, which I am not interested in, I am looking for a split pair of mits with gel in the palms and made by a reputable company. Thanks You're being a baby, a baby with a sense of entitlement. Furthermore, I have never seen winter gloves with a gel palm. Try these. Accept my sincere apologies that they are not exactly what you're looking for. http://www.pearlizumi.com/product.ph...duct_id=527534 http://www.pearlizumi.com/product.ph...duct_id=527528 or http://www.pearlizumi.com/product.ph...duct_id=527525 |

You might be right that cold weather split mits do not have gel, but I was hoping someone might know... |
