Looking for a couple of pairs of decent winter riding gloves which keep my fingers warm but allow me good grip and if possible breathable.
Can you guys recommend anything worth looking at.
I found these at Go Outdoors.......

Any comments most welcome..
Thanks, Andy.

Their socks are ace but their gloves leak like a seive in my experience.

I now use Gore gloves now and they are far better.

I understand that the best available are assoz (spelling?) but they are mega money!!

IME the Sealskins work very well at keeping you warm and dry.

My only problem with them is that they're very chunky; a bit like wearing ski gloves to ride a bike.

The assos winter glove system ( I kid you not!) is excellent - as is all their stuff. If you do loads of winter riding then they are definitely worth the non-trivial amount of cash required.

Or if you don't, Aldi gloves are well worth the very trivial amount of cash required!

i have got some sealskinz technical gloves which i bought to wear when fishing as i suffer from cold hands, there great apart from there too thick to do dextrous things. Not ideal for fishing but great for biking!

These ice fishing gloves look less bulky and very grippy
