Gore C5 GTX Thermo
- Sizes 5 to 11
- Weight 135 grammes
- Equipment Gore-Tex; wind/waterproof; wiping thumb; reflective; Velcro fastener
- Price 75 Euro >> currently available on Amazon for 59 euros
BIKE summary of the Gore C5 GTX Thermo
The C5 has hardly any weaknesses in terms of features and is one of the warmest gloves in comparison. Windproof, waterproof and thickly lined, they are made for all weather conditions. The workmanship is also excellent. The grip around the handlebars is not very direct, the individual layers slip on top of each other - this is particularly annoying in technical terrain. For easy terrain and extreme weather, however, the Gore C5 GTX Thermo is a solid choice.
GripGrab Ride Waterproof Winter Glove
- Sizes XS to XXL
- Weight 130 grammes
- Equipment Velcro straps; wipe thumb; silicone prints; gel padding; touchscreen fingers; wind and waterproof membrane; reflective; insulating lining
- Price 69 Euro >> currently available from Amazon for 39 euros
BIKE conclusion on the GripGrab Ride Waterproof Winter Glove
The GripGrab is a solid all-rounder that is difficult to push to its limits in both cold and rainy conditions. The fit is surprisingly good for such a thickly lined glove, and the grip on the controls is also fine. Even if you have to accept small compromises when shifting gears and braking. The long, comfortable cuff is particularly pleasing. For a waterproof glove, the GripGrab is very flexible.
Vaude Posta Warm Gloves
- Sizes: 6 to 12
- Weight: 73 grammes
- Equipment: Touchscreen fingers; windproof and water-repellent; Velcro fastening; padded bale; terry thumb; reflective
- Price 50 Euro >> currently available from Rosebikes for 39 euros
BIKE summary of the Vaude Posta Warm Gloves
The slim fit and thin lining of the Vaude winter glove ensure a high level of comfort. The completely wind-repellent finger material provides insulation, but the wind whistles through the extensively terry-lined thumb. The long cuff with Velcro closes comfortably far back. The grip on the handlebars and fittings could be a little better.
Giro Pivot 2.0
- Sizes: XS to XXL
- Weight: 118 grammes
- Equipment: Wind and waterproof; palm padding; touchscreen fingers; Velcro; Primaloft lining
- Price 85 Euro >> currently available from Bikeinn for 58 euros
BIKE summary of the Giro Pivot 2.0
With the windproof and waterproof Pivot, Giro has a solid all-rounder on offer. The Primaloft lining keeps you warm down to zero degrees, while the Outdry membrane keeps the material flexible. This means that the grip on the handlebars hardly suffers. However, there is excess material at the end of the narrow-cut fingers, which is a little annoying when handling, and the seam of the touchscreen trim on the index finger is also irritating. With sweaty hands, it's difficult to get into the glove, the wiping surface is narrow and not very absorbent, and the material is sometimes raspy.
Chiba 2nd Skin
- Sizes: XS to 3XL
- Weight: 109 grammes
- Equipment: Wind and waterproof; padded palm; reflective; Primaloft lining; long cuff
- Price 45 Euro >> currently available from Rosebikes for 22 euros
BIKE summary of the Chiba 2nd Skin
The Chiba 2nd Skin is a very high-quality and waterproof glove for not too cold rainy days in winter. Despite the membrane, it fits the hand very well and the grip on the handlebars is secure and comfortable. The individual layers are neatly welded so that the lining does not slip. Unfortunately, the fingertips do not offer a touch function and have a little less grip. The wiping thumb could also be a little softer. The long, flexible cuff makes it easy to slip into the glove, but a Velcro fastener to adjust the width would be nice. Good price-performance ratio.
