Winter glove January sales - 25% off Specialized ‘lobster’ and 100% Brisker Cold Weather gloves
Although we're now past midwinter, spring is still a long way off - now's the chance to get some extra warmth on the cheap in the January sales
If you're still looking for a pair of cycling gloves to get you through the winter, you'll want to act sooner rather than later. After all, nothing ruins a ride this time of year more than freezing cold digits.
To help encourage you in to action, I've found some great online deals on winter gloves, all priced around $50 or under. I've also done the same for the UK, where I've picked another three pairs, all with a price tag of around £30 or lower.
If you're still unsure of the right pair for you please consult our guide to the best winter gloves.
