Good 40F+ full finger gloves
 

Unfortunately, I lost my pair of gloves a while ago and I need replacement... And I need some recommendation here for a pair of full finger gloves.

I need gloves that have good dexterity, minimal padding and it's good for temperature (windchill not included) down to 40F. My price point is about $25.

Any suggestion?

for me the various synthetic ones get too hot or don't offer enough warmth when wet. While not cycling specific they work.

I use a pair of windproof gloves from Performance Zonda gloves. They're windproof and they're pretty minimal as far as padding goes but has the requisite synthetic leather on the palms. I even use them daily as winter gloves.

Pearl Izumi Cyclones fit your criteria except for the price, but you might find them on sale for $25 if you search on the web. I love my Cyclones for temps ranging from upper 30s to 60s, but they aren't warm enough for temps near freezing and lower.

Ragwool, with the dots on the fingers and palm for grip. About $12-$15.

I wore mine today at 36F and drizzle and was fine.

I'll refrain from making comments about needing full-fingered gloves for 40*+ weather. D'oh. Wait. I just did. :innocent:

+1 on the Pearl Izumi gloves, and their XL size really does fit XL hands if you care

If you are ok without any padding, go to the hardware store and look over their mechanics style gloves. They are usually very durable and provide excellent dexterity.

Ha, above 40F (and dry) is when I stop using FF gloves. Otherwise I like using glove liners under my regular gloves below that to about freezing.

Earlier this fall I got some Santini 365 Winter Gloves from nashbar for ~$15. If you can find some of those, they worked well for me, especially with liners when I got down into the low 30's (and probably could go colder if I weren't such a pansy about riding on ice). Without the liners, they might still be too warm in the 40's, but might be ok. Appear to be wind and water resistant.

You can play guitar or start a fire wearing these, but they're warm ( even when they're saturated ), wick sweat like nobody's business, and fit ... like a glove. :D

Check out your local salvation army. I've picked up over 3 pair of gloves for about $3. One pair wool, another pair I cut off the finger tips to make fingerless, and another just because.

Just what the doctor ordered...

I use these from 40F to 55F on the commuter and up to 95F on the mountain bike (full fingered is the only way to go).

OK, so what are they?

+1 on these. I use these from 20-45 degrees. Doesn't get any colder here. Also, they have the benefit of wrapping your wrist joint. I think keeping this area warm makes you feel less cold all around.

Various, in my assortment,
Polar fleece gloves will work, liner gloves are using thin knit fabric,
or thicker fleecy ones.. polyester fleece
and sealskin. 2 knit layers with a membrane in between,
I have some spenco cycling full finger gloves, some palm padding..

you can get wool knit gloves with gripper dots in the palm . or not.

40*F is the top end of where I use full finger gloves. I have to use quite thin gloves or my hands just sweat like crazy. I use generally $5 fleece gloves from Kohls when it's between 35 and 45. About 35 I switch to windproofs from Kohls, about $10. I switch to windproofs with more insulation, also about $10 or so from Kohls, at probably 20*F down to 0 or so, then switch to hunting gloves ($7 at a department store around hunting season - they're windproof, water resistant, blaze orange and warm as hell. They're basically cheap ski gloves. I've used those down to -25*F.

scroca,
If you just click on the image of the gloves in Seattle Forrest's entry #11, it will get you to the seller of the gloves and give you the information you want (it took me a minute to figure this out, it's not obvious).

Yes.

Two have posted about wool gloves/glove liners (Fox River @REI and Arc'teryx). I use a Smartwool version.

These work great, but if not careful one can wear a hole in the finger tips (for the smartwool and the arc'teryx there are some user complaints about this) Sometimes there may be a seam where the thumb is sewed onto the body of the glove (visible on the arc'teryx, smartwool doesn't have one) This can create a pressure point and lead to discomfort.

The Fox River version looks promising as it has some acrylic mixed in (making me think it is more durable than wool alone) and doesn't have the seam.

Arc'teryx Gothic Gloves, but the image I posted is a hyperlink to them.

+1,
however if you really want gloves - a pair of master mechanic light weight material handling gloves from the hardware work well, wear fine and aren't too expensive. I often wear a pair just for hand protection while commuting.

For those temps I went to Kmart, got some knit gloves, and a pair of convertible mittens made of thinsulite, with half fingers and a hood that can be put over the fingertips. As I recall, the two pair were under 20 total.
