I have some of these (or at least the non-lobster version) having checked.

They are v. good but too warm for anything except very cold weather/short commutes and not
waterproof (though they will keep most stuff out).

;-) The guy was complaining about not finding warm gloves and you're objecting they're too warm ;-)

They do two versions of the lobsters (which are even warmer than their non-lobster!) - one is
showerproof but not waterproof, the other is fully waterproof (think its called the AmFib version)

Thanks for all the suggestions - I think silk inners and marigolds are where it's at for me!

Get your turbo trainer out then, and enjoy the mind-pummeling boredom!

Though having said that, I find ski gloves are pretty good. The insides tend to get wet over time,
but at a rate where they stay warm. I've not felt the need to try my double mountaineering mittens
on a bike yet, though if using mittens make sure you can use all the controls effectively. With most
of these thing, making sure your jacket cuffs cover the top of the glove cuff is very important or
water just runs down your arms into the top of the glove.

I've get some Specialized Lobsterclaws which aren't waterproof, but are warm enough to only get
pulled it when it's too cold for much in the way of rain.

Doing the washing up while on the turbo might, I suppose, be a way of relieving the boredom -- or at
least, of doing two mind-blowingly boring things at the same time.

'spose you could watch Eastenders at the same time and go for the hat-trick.

Tell me your kidding!

Well, not the wooly bits as a waterfall swiftly renders them useless, but marigolds are excellent
caving gloves. The industrial ones are better.

cheers, clive

Nah -- spice up your life -- do it in stockings & suspenders (but draw the curtains as you might
scare the neighbours.

Anyone know where I can get SPD compatible Stilettos.

Works a treat actually. Of course you have to chose the colour of the Marigolds carefully to
coordinate with your outfit. Failing that use those surgeon type latex gloves, but they don't have
the grip nor the staying power of the Marigolds.

I usually go with one yellow and one pink. I think that's a colour scheme to compliment just
about anything.

FWIW many motorists who can't see you when you are wearing fluorescent day-glo bright colours,
can spot (and laugh at) a pair of Marigolds from 100 yards away!

How the hell do you get a pair of Marigolds that you can get a pair of woolly gloves underneath?

(No, I don't have hands like a gorilla.

Large size marigolds, small size hands. Dunno if they do larger size than large, but medium are a
bit big on my ungloved hands.

Maybe I do have gorilla hands. Large (which I have found near unobtainable on the very few occasions
I have looked) are tight and the largest available -- medium -- constrict the blood.

I will continue to use my ski gloves when its cold.
