I need gloves!

Ones for cycling. My old ones are too bulky and not up to the job of wind and rain.

Any recommendations?

I've been looking at rigger gloves, are they bulky?

After years of cycling I found the answer, get neoprene ones, (made of the same stuff as wet suits), unlike bulky gloves your hands don’t get cold when the gloves get wet, but wear a thin liner gloves inside. Admittedly they do smell when you take them off, but that can’t be helped.

Have you looked at Airsoft style gloves?. They have loads of protection and give lots of room for movement.theu can get a bit expensive but they will do the job

I'd have to sniff them first, old fashioned rubber makes me heave.

Are they easy to grip with?

The gloves don’t smell, only after your hands have been sweating in them. Yes, they have grips on, look on Wiggle for cycling specific neoprene gloves.

I wear really ugly padded cycling gloves even in the summer - they're fingerless.

Otherwise my hands feel numb and weird after about an hour on the bike.

They're only padded in the right places - they do the job.

I wear normal gloves underneath.

Sorry I'm not much help

I wear fox motorcross gloves 'Fox Clothing Ranger Water Long Finger gloves' theyre waterproof, very very comfy non clumbersome.

I use them for road (i dont road ride often) dh mountain biking & motorcross riding. Theyre fab and cheap.

Oh, bugger!

As I've been stuck indoors and not been to work I've forgotten I needed gloves. My poor hands are going to be frozen tomorrow.

Wear a pair of silk under gloves for warmth under whatever you choose. Your hands won’t smell of rubber either
