Does anyone have recommendations for full finger winter gloves? 
I went on a 7am ride and my fingers were in a lot of pain from how cold they got. Rookie error I know. 
 

Looking at the options available there seem to be a lot but not many with reviews. 
Any and all feedback is appreciated 🙂

Happy riding 🚴

I got my wife some Arctico 2.0's as well last week, and she got herself some Leatt long-finger gloves. No rides with them yet, due to the extreme weather, hopefully this weekend.

The Arctico's will probably be better for when it is really cold, and the Leatts for when it is just a bit too chilly for short gloves.
I think it helps to have some options - my Ryder gloves are too warm for most days, but I was very very glad to have them in the Bergplaas dropbox at last year's Transbaviaans.

I like the Pearl Izumi Escape Thermal Gloves for when it's cold but not freezing. They're good while the temps aren't in the single digits.

Once it dips bellow 10 then I like riding with the Ciovita Artico gloves and have used these down to 0 degrees

I've got a pair of Pearl Izumi windproof gloves that I find work really well. They're nice and light so I still have loads of "feel" on the levers. When temperatures get below 10 deg I wear a thin pair of base layer gloves underneath like these First Ascent ones:  https://www.firstascent.co.za/thermal-liner-glove

If it warms up I can then remove the base layer gloves.

I've tried thicker thermal padded gloves but find them less comfy and often overkill.

First Ascent sells a Thermal Inner for gloves. I put my regular short finger cycling mitts over these. They work a charm since you can take them off and stuff into your jersey pockets when it gets hot.

Obviously they wont work in wet weather, but I love the versatility to take them off when the cold has eased. Last time I checked they were R350' ish.
