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.
That’s good info on the over-warm gloves. I should be careful of that. At the moment, I’m visiting cold places - so there is a temptation to buy myself some nice warm gloves. But for my main purposes at home, it doesn’t get as cold… so really warm gloves would be a mistake I think.
