Struggling with cold hands on the bike is never much fun. Winter cycling gloves are one of the items of kit that cyclists tend to be most interested in. You can get away with thin socks or a 5-dollar base layer, but the wrong gloves on a long, cold ride will cause you problems. 

Several pairs of what I consider to be the best cycling gloves around are on offer in the Black Friday sales in the US and UK at the moment, and will be airdropped straight into our Black Friday bike deals hub when we get a free five minutes.

The Espresso GT gloves are some of Castelli's deep winter heavy hitters. Take it from me they are really great winter gloves. 

The gloves have plenty of Primalft Gold insulation and a Polartec Neoshell membrane. Super soft and cosy inside, but they will keep you snug in freezing conditions and aren't too bulky.

Firm favourites here at Cyclingnews are the AmFIB lobster gloves from Pearl Izumi. Lobster gloves generally are warmer in the cold for lots of riders. These gloves have a long cuff, Polartec insulation and a handy red pull loop to help you take them off.

We gave the Perfetto RoS gloves a perfect review score a few years back. They are very capable lightweight gloves that will suit those who value dexterity and don't need absolute maximum protection, though they can handle some cold temps. 

They have a soft fleecy inside and use the legendary Gore-Tex Infinium to keep the wind out. I love reaching for them when riding hard when I don't want much bulk.

I recently wore these gloves for two miserable hours during Storm Bert in the UK. They are medium weight and offer good dexterity whilst the quality is plain to see. 

They aren't as soft and plush as the Endura's below. But if you want quality gloves for a range of temperatures with a Gore-Tex membrane for the wet, take a look. They also work very well off the bike for walking.

The Endura strike gloves are nice winter all-rounders and the blueberry colour is 50% off in a range of sizes. 

For the price, I guarantee you will be pleased. They have a good-length cuff with velcro closure, are touchscreen compatible, have a soft nose wipe panel and have reflective flashes.  The gloves are lovely and soft inside, have a waterproof membrane and a DWR coating.

He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild.
