Full cycling gloves?

[screw3d]

I'm looking for something waterproof, full (covers the fingers), can keep warm and if possible, just plain black/dark colors that'll still look ok w/o looking dorky if worn for other purposes.

Reason: I have skinny fingers. It sucks when I'm cycling in the rain or when it's chilly..

Any suggestions? I'm looking to spend not more than $20..

nah sorry... i don't use full fingered gloves... but i have a pair of nikes and pearl izumis... and theyve been great. Perhaps Fausto1, Brutuskend, and Frustrated User, and a couple more cyclists here can help you better.

Will you be riding in the rain, or just the cold.

In rain I like the neoprene gloves like "spokes". They get wet but then like a wet suit they heat up to body temp and your hands stay nice and warm.

For just cold weather riding, I would check out a ski shop and just get some good Gortex gloves.

What if both? I know it doesn't get too cold in SoCal.. but my fingers still get chilly when it gets down to 50s..

If your in So Cal, the neoprene would be MORE than enough I would think.

These are more than you want to spend, but will last forever.

I have a few pairs of Pearly winter gloves that are 5+ years old. Very, very well-made stuff.

Neoprene will work but will make your hands sweat like crazy. Not worth the cheap price IMO.

True about the sweaty part.

But what the hell!
