The same goes for wind and waterproof riding. The gloves with waterproof quality membranes can work the best while you ride. Drybike Weathershields are a concept similar to pogies, but they are a little smaller and lighter weight. I'm beating around the bush though; do they keep your hands dry? So far, they have but I don't think they will end up being perfect. Light Oregon rain is still substantial and so far, I haven't gotten them to leak. What I learned during those lighter rain rides is that they have a lot more dexterity than a bulky insulated glove and that the liner you choose matters a lot. Lined gloves are nice for cool weather, and lobster gloves are excellent for moderate cold, but sometimes you need more when you’re dealing with below zero temperatures! That is where pogies come in.

As I continued to look for an elegant solution to keeping your hands warm in cold rain, new products came to market. Both Sportful and Assos have waterproof shell gloves and they've changed the game a bit. Unfortunately neither solution is actually waterproof but they have a couple of advantages that make it all work anyway. Lobster gloves, first made popular by Pearl Izumi, are designed to keep your hands warm in cold temperatures without limiting your dexterity like mittens do. Lobster gloves can be thought of as a cross between regular gloves and mittens. Cabela’s has some handlebar mittens made for ATvs and Snowmobiles, but they look like a great option for cyclists who also venture out into the cold weather. These mittens fit over the handlebars to allow easy access to controls while protecting your hands from cold weather and brush. There isn’t a women’s specific version, but as will most Castelli kit, the size ‘small’ is pretty small and likely to fit even very dainty hands. Gore Bike Wear Road Windstopper Soft Shell Lobster Gloves – here If all of this is too overwhelming, or you can’t decide between a few options, consider the average temps you typically ride in. Most companies rate their gloves on a temperature scale, so if you know you ride in subfreezing temps, don’t buy a glove meant for 40-degree-plus days.The Nordic 2s are designed for arctic winter rides where the temperature hovers around zero, with added wind chill. As GripGrab is a Scandinavian company, you'd hope its designers have plenty of experience and know-how in making a glove that can cope with the most digit-numbing of conditions. But while GripGrab can certainly make a very warm glove, you may not find it perfect for cycling. If you’re gloves aren’t doing the job, and you don’t want to invest in a pricey new pair, or perhaps you’ve already got some heavy duty gloves but still feel the chill, it’s time for liners.

There are details beyond just cold-weather performance that make these attractive, too. One of those details is smartphone compatibility. Pearl Izumi makes sure you can use your smartphone without removing your gloves although realistically you'll be using your thumbs not your finger. There is a touchscreen point on the forefinger but given the lobster design it's almost completely unusable. In a nutshell, pogies are the ideal way to keep your hands warm in cold and wet weather. Winter Cycling Gloves and Bike Pogies List They are great for cyclists because we deal with very cold temperatures on our hands, yet we still need to brake and shift to ride safely. Normal gloves don’t keep us warm enough, and mittens don’t let us shift very well. That’s why lobster gloves are so great. What Are Pogies? The answer depends on the timeframe we are talking about. A good pair of gloves with a waterproof membrane, or even a DWR coating, will keep your hands dry for a while. Ride long enough though and they all saturate. The only option that is actually waterproof is a shell. Sportful makes a shell I included here but there are some others out there. They are truly waterproof but they also require another glove for warmth and that second glove will eventually get wet also. When you leave the house on a bitterly cold day, you might make it through a ride with only a single pair of gloves. If you leave the house and it's raining you will need a change of gloves if you ride longer than about three hours. How many winter gloves do you need?It is worth spending your time to find the right pair of gloves before you head out for your ride. You can't just go and buy yourself a pair of longboarding gloves and feel prepared for winter. You will need specific gloves according to their ability to handle the weather conditions. Here are a few things you should keep in mind when you shop for your best cycling gloves. Type Of Weather Condition If gloves are not enough to keep your hands happy then, there are lobster claw gloves options to keep your fingers together while providing some dexterity. Cuffs Meaning that when hands get too hot or cold it’s just a matter of slipping on or off an overglove (waterproof or windproof?). Lobster gloves keep the fingers together to enanche warmth. They are not the most comfortable but can be lifesaving in colder climates.

The lobster-style design has been evolved to have an optimised finger split: where the separation of the forefinger allows for easier braking and shifting on both road and MTB levers – so you have maximum dexterity and control. The low-density padding also gave rise to tingling, numbness and similar discomfort much past the hour mark. Even so, my hands remained perfectly dry.Designed for all weather riding: the Neoprene cuff and loop closure provide a clean connection to your wrist to prevent wind, rain, and snow from sliding underneath your gloves or up your sleeves. Keep your hands dry and warm in all conditions. Cold fingers aren’t just unpleasant, they impede your ability to brake, change gear, and they’re not great for your concentration, either. Wind and Waterproof fabric are designed with a perforated internal membrane that keeps the elements on the edge. Windproof fabrics are designed according to the volume of air passing through 1spm of the fabric. Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) is Canada’s leading supplier of quality outdoor gear and clothing. The company sells a complete line of outdoor gear and apparel, including a large selection of gloves. They even have cycling gloves for summer and winter! Lobster gloves” is actually a trademark of Pearl Izumi. That’s why you don’t see many others advertised as lobster gloves. Typically, they are called split-finger mittens, which is a generic term.
