They're my last resort gloves for when a) it's really cold b) my Sealskinz Ultragrips aren't warm enough, and c) there's too much snow/traffic to make the torpedo viable. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15629#post-202243 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 10:23:45 +0000 Claire 202243@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One of my pals has a pair of lobster mittens and she says they are brilliant. Tempted to get a pair myself... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15629#post-202238 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 10:00:40 +0000 lorlane 202238@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>*and I sprayed mine with waterproof spray so warm hands even on cold, rainy rides. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15629#post-202237 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 10:00:25 +0000 fimm 202237@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aldi had some in their recent cycle event - I didn't get any because I found some conventional gloves that looked more like what I was looking for. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15629#post-202233 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 09:44:12 +0000 lorlane 202233@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have them and I love them! Like @sallyhinch my hands are very sensitive to the cold to the point of being very painful.</p> <p>They work (for me) but it's worth mentioning I have small hands and the small size is still quite roomy on me so perhaps more warm air around them helps? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15629#post-202227 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 09:05:35 +0000 Nelly 202227@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@sallyhinch</p> <p>good article ! </p> <p>My hands suffer in a similar way, its a constant search for warmth. </p> <p>Heres hoping these work better than normal ones as 'some reports' suggest it could be a cold winter. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15629#post-202224 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 22:02:32 +0000 sallyhinch 202224@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My lobster gloves work brilliantly for me and I suffer from very cold hands (wear full fingered gloves almost all year round). They do look a bit odd though...</p> <p><a href="https://cityexile.wordpress.com/2013/01/18/ice-station-lobster/" rel="nofollow">https://cityexile.wordpress.com/2013/01/18/ice-station-lobster/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15629#post-202217 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 19:24:35 +0000 wingpig 202217@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think Kaputnik had some and found them inadequate? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15629#post-202210 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:13:10 +0000 Nelly 202210@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone used these weird looking things?</p> <p><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/627/22120637748_299eae57ea_c.jpg"></p> <p>I really suffer the cold in my hands and my last winter gloves are falling apart - so I bought these on the strength of some good reviews.</p> <p>They look and feel very odd - but I believe that the concept of keeping more than one finger together does work (I dont use mittens for skiing, but have friends that swear by them)</p> <p>I will report back once it starts to get chilly ! </p>
