I’ve worn a pair of SealSkinz Nordic Skiing gloves on the bike every winter, but this Black Friday deal is about to change all that

Buying a pair of the heavily discounted SealSkinz Upwell heated and waterproof gloves could genuinely be life changing

For anyone who lives with the pain of Raynaud’s phenomenon, you have my absolute sympathies. As someone who has suffered with the restriction of blood flow to their hands and feet, I have probably tried every pair of the best winter cycling gloves on the market over the years in a bid to keep my hands warm enough to continue to function. 

If you’ve been suffering from numb feet or hands when cycling, then you may want to read on, because I think I’ve found the ultimate solution; the Sealskinz Upwell waterproof heated glove.

USA: was $260.00, now $195.00 at Backcountry

UK: was £175.00, now £123.50 at Amazon

As a gauntlet fit, these will go over your cycling jersey rather than under, so you'll want to make use of the drawstring cuff to reduce any sleeve run off, but will make getting them on and off easier.

Data on the pricing of these is tricky to find, and what's even trickier is trying find a pair. Thankfully I came across a rather decent 21% saving at Amazon for the cycling specific version, with the narrow cuff. The gauntlet version don't appear to be on offer, they've totally sold out of both on the SealSkinz website, but the best deal I've found is $195 at Backcountry.

If you want to hold out for a cycling specific pair in the UK, you may need to shop around a little, with the cheapest we've found so far direct from the Sealskinz brand.
