FAQs

Lobster gloves keep more fingers grouped together, which helps them stay warmer than a standard five-finger glove. The trade-off is a little less dexterity, but for true winter use it is often worth it.

2mm is better for milder conditions and riders who hate bulky gloves. 3mm is the best all-round middle ground for a lot of UK use. 5mm is for proper winter warmth when numb hands are the main problem.
