Re: Gloves
I bought some decent fingerless gloves from millets a few days ago. Wore them today for the first time. They are a kind of Lycra thermal material with rubbery palms and fingers. They didn't hinder me in anyway, so pleased with em

Re: Gloves
I got a pair of Thinsulate fingerless gloves last week in a cheapy shop, £2 per pair and are warm and comfortable (might get another couple of pairs just to be on the safe side) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THERMAL-GLOVE ... 84b889cb50" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

My left hand which held the bundle would have the mitten part pulled over so my hand was completly covered, my right hand would have the fingers exposed.

Re: Gloves
Strangely when actually on delivery during winter my hands don't get cold. I only wear any gloves when travelling home, or on the way out.
The bundles seem to keep my hands warm enough.

Re: Gloves
This will by my 12th winter and I never wear gloves on duty and I have done town duties and have now been o rural duty for my last three winters. I do cycle to work and would say my fingerless cycle gloves are great.
