They look great, stylish, modern and more expensive than the modest price tag of £24.99. In conclusion the Windster gloves would make a great buy. On temperature, Ive tested the Phew Lobster outer shells on their own in air temperatures that were about 5 degrees, probably a degree or two less given the wind chill, and my hands were okay. The Phew Early Winter mid-weight gloves are an ideal solution and are suitable for all but the coldest conditions.

Best of all is the addition of a towelling material around the thumb ideal to mop up the ubiquitous snotty nose. Spring is on its way, we hope, and the Early Winter Gloves are just as suited to Late Winter as well making an ideal glove for the chilly and potentially wet spring mornings. I was really impressed by the insulation they provided, they are described as ‘Early Winter gloves’ (3-12 degrees range, say the makers) with Phew admitting they are an ideal solution and suitable for all but the coldest conditions, I would happily concur especially with the long cuff which as expected provides an excellent seal over all types of jacket or outdoor gear. The glove also benefits from an extra thick palm pad to alleviate any discomfort on longer rides. The construction is solid with a really comfortable soft palm which does provide excellent grip on all types of handlebars. They come in four sizes and as I have slightly girlie hands, I found the ‘Small’ was a perfect choice with adequate room for my fingers. They achieve this by sourcing the best quality fabrics from factories across Europe and the World. Their goal is to produce quality premium clothing that is affordable without compromising on comfort, performance and wear-ability. So with the onset of the chilly early mornings I found it was a great opportunity to try out the new sleek looking Windster gloves from the up-and-coming outfit Phew.

The big difference is the outer shell design which has day time riding in mind, but still gives good presence after dark. In my opinion there is nothing worse than cold hands whilst pedaling, I have even on occasions had to utilise a slightly grubby pair of socks as a temporary makeshift alternative.
