What's everyone using for Fall/Winter gloves? Are gloves somewhat independent to riding/ bike style? The wife and I are stopping at the LBS tomorrow to see about getting our free 90 day tuneup/checkup, and we're probably going to buy some gloves while there. I've heard just having gloves helps with numbness during the summer, which I'll look in to a pair of those in the spring.

Right now, the wife's hands are getting cold and my back seems to be the warming oven when we stop for a break and she sneaks a fake kiss . My hands are getting a bit chilled as well.

I suppose this post could belong outside of the Hybrid forum, but I thought there might be certain gloves better for different bike types?

On a side note I almost didn't how to add air with a Presto Valve, the wife wanted to know if I needed her to change my tires too LOL, she's such a smartass sometimes.

Don't forget to add your winter air!

I just bought some multi-sport gloves with a nice grippy palm and a conductive pad on the forefinger, so I can interact with my iPhone with the gloves on. Cost: $9 at Costco.

I have some excellent Swix branded gloves intended for cross country sking but which are great for cycling and work down to about freezing. For real cold I have some Black Diamond brand ski mitts which have thick fleece lined inserts like the lobster claw gloves sold to cyclists but with a separate and removable mitten nylon cover that blocks wind. These can take me down to the teens and make my hand sweat. If things get really really cold and I want to go for a long ride I can slip some of those chemical toe warmers between the liner and the cover and stay comfortable. I also have a couple of pairs of rag wool gloves with and without fingers that I use for thirties or forties, generally when I can't remember where I left the Swix.

I have a pair of Cannondale Slice gloves. They fit and flex very well. Any colder than I'd need these for and I'll be skiing, not biking!
For warm weather riding, I found that a pair of Giant mountain bike gel gloves eliminated my hand and wrist numbing, and fit really well. Not sure of the model name.
I'm a gal, but I have long fingers and many women's gloves don't fit me or feel constricting. And some brands seem to fall apart easily. I do like Pearl Izumi and Cannondale's clothing and accessories.

I might have to check those out.

I prefer wool flip mitts with a liner glove... they do a nice job of regulating temperature and wicking moisture away from my hands.

I also carry some light shell mitts that I can wear over the wool liner gloves or regular gloves for these very cool mornings or when it rains.

I layer my gloves when it's really cold, and I use single layers in various thicknesses depending on the temperature and especially the wind.

60F - vented full-finger gloves. I wear these MTBing in the summer even when it's 100. I think my current pair are Giro.

50s - medium weight gloves, cotton or windstop nylon depending on the wind.

40s - actually put my summer gloves under my windstop medium weight gloves. if this doesn't work, either your summer gloves are too bulky or your medium weight too small.

30s - thick shell glove over medium weight glove. I actually have these: https://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product...1_202070_10000
The bulk does not bother me because I'm used to hunting in the winter and a trigger is a lot harder to operate than bicycle brakes and shifters.

below 30s - I haven't yet ridden at this temp, but I'll give it a go this year. My friend swears by these as an alternative to Moose Mitts: https://www.gandermountain.com/modper...s&merchID=4005 He says that you setup those on a flatbar bike the same as an ATV and then wear a medium glove underneath it.

Depends on type of ride; hard ride I wear standard MTB-gloves (not too thick and ventilation). For not so intensive rides anything that keeps me warm and dont hinder gearing, prefebly downhill type gloves.

I dig the blog, Sixty. Can't wait for your studded tires entry.
