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.
Yeah, I like the layers idea. And I’m seeing that trying stuff on is definitely important. I’ve been to a couple of stores recently, and the fit of different gloves is quite different even with similar styles and sizes.
I’m away from home at the moment; and its a bit colder here than where I live - so although it would be nice to have new gloves right away I’m thinking maybe I should wait until I’m hope to choose something in the climate that I actually live in!
