have used these & anything above 10 Deg C & my hands start to sweat they are that good! & they are Totally waterproof 8)
Only drawback they are quite thick so using the controls is harder.

Dianese D-Dry 2 I think. Done me through 2 winters - perfect.

I have had good life, fit and comfort out of every pair of Alpine stars I have ever had. So my first thoughts would be to suggest a pair of those. Dianese are also a quality product, but, the D-Dry liner is nowhere near as good as a Goretex liner. So my first recommendation, would be regardless of what brand you end up with, get something with a Goretex liner. Not any copy of a Goretex liner, but a real Gore made Goretex liner. No matter what the salespeople or brochures say, there is still nothing on the planet that comes close to Goretex in terms of waterproofing and breathability. If you commute, you will love the gore liners as they reduce sweat dramatically. If you ride in very cold conditions, Goretex is completely windproof as well as waterproof. If you ride in climates where it varies and can warm up a lot for the afternoon commute, then you will love Goretex.

winter gloves I found were too thick, I tried "inners" with standard gloves and found the same problem. Looking at getting a set of heated grips

Oh.. soooo soft :roll: :P

I have had issues with gloves that are too thick.. in the interim i got some thinsulate gloves and wore them under regular gloves.
(That was 4 years ago, I must get around to getting some winter gloves) Great thread 8)

Do what I did yesterday going up the mountain..............stop by the petrol station and ask for a free plastic bag........stick that it in your glove.

I love my freebes :D

Thanks to all who have given advice much appreciated :) I decided to get the dianese d dry.. The cost of goretex was a little to high for the amount of cold weather riding I do tight arse I know... And as for heated hand grips that's just a wank no thanks... Haha thanks all for your input...
