They're relatively thin, so flexible enough to handle brake levers. Other than that I've used a variety of winter gloves for commuting, including SealSkinz. None have been totally satisfactory.

Oranj Dec 2021 7:05pm, 14 Dec 2021 2,938 posts	0 Oranj Back in the day I had a pair of Gill neoprene sailing gloves like that. They were great when you had to go out and it was chucking it down but got a bit smelly! I'm currently using an own-brand btwin pair from Decathlon which're pretty good. (Just checked that website but they don't seem to be listed now ), Before that I had a pair from Descent which were the best I've ever owned. Warm and flexible.

They don’t appear to have common owners or an obvious route other than probably the same Chinese factory.
