I’m intending to buy some gloves to use for commuting on cold days. I’m looking for something wind-proof, fairly light, and hopefully a bit water resistant.
Here are three sets of gloves that I’ve been looking at:
- Outdoor Research, commuter windstopper gloves
- Arc’teryx, Venta gloves
- Rab, Vapour-Rise gloves
I don’t really know if any of those are good options. But they seem roughly what I’m looking for.
I’m wondering what gloves other people wear, and if you have any recommendations.
[edit] Although the primary purpose of the gloves is for commuting; I’d also like them to be my general “go to” gloves for whenever they are needed when visiting cold places.
How cold is it in your area ? How long is your commuting ?
For a 20 mn ride I use ski gloves that I already had under 10°C with undergloves when <5°C, it is enough for whole winter here.
If you have a long commute and far below freezing conditions you may consider heating gloves, or check in motorbike gloves
