  1. Are Answer Vapor Cold Weather Gloves any good? Winter's coming on and I
    need some winter gloves. Some bloke's flogging the Answer Vapors on ebay
    for what seems a decent price. I don't need anything that I'd wear to the
    South Pole, it rarely gets below 0°C here, but I need something more than my
    lycra half-gloves. :-)

  2. I've never found any gloves that work at 0°C for me, that's
    mitten country. But it's going to depend mostly on what your
    system does with blood flow when your hands get cold.

    The key seems to be keeping your wrist warm, in preventing
    the blood flow from shutting down, if shutting down is
    what it does.

    I really like my Pearl Izumi full-finger gloves for weather
    down to about freezing or even just a little below.

    Unfortunately, Pearl Izumi gloves are stupidly expensive and
    are not being flogged off cheaply on ebay.

  5. Are they wind-proof? What do you use now? Is it insulated?
    How do your current gloves compare to the Answers?

    I use wind-proof gloves with no insulation down to about 5C,
    thin insulation to about 0C and mittens below that. And if I
    choose the wrong gloves for the ride then I pedal harder and
    try to choose better the next ride.
