As the title says,
Looking for some warm gloves even though summer should be on its way due to bad circulation in a couple of fingers
Looking to spend around £70

Thanks Oldcat,
Over budget and I may need to get some larger ones aswell to go over these!!!
Trawling through the net and it looks like to me that the gloves Aldi were selling COULD have been made by Buffalo allegedly!!!!

Having suffered with bad circulation (amongst other things) since a couple of botched operations I tend to find my digits virtually drop off in all weathers, in light of that I've opted for 3 finger crab claw gloves which, when combined with a thin glove liner work well, mine were from Heine Gericke who are sadly no longer with us but similar pairs are available on the market around your price range.

On really cold days I have Keis heated glove liners wired direct into the bike which I find are far superior to heated grips which only hear the inside of your hand

Not really sure what's happening with Hein-Gericke. The Glasgow store closed when they pulled out of the UK and J&S took it over.

They are opening a new one about a hundred yards away though (may already have opened). And are advertising a new on-line shop as 'comming soon'.

Just been to my local dealer and although I said my budget was 70 after showing me some around 40 them went ro a pair of halvarssons at 104!!!!!!
They have this outlast.thing which acts like a thermos.flask. So if your hands are hot when you put them in they will keep them warm and also spread the heat and vice versa if your hands are cold 
Anybody heard about or tried them
How long till Fathers day!!!!!

I don't have any personal recommendations but it might be worth reading through some of the buyer reviews on here. It's only showing gloves up to £70.

Not sure what you did there, had me going for a bit to work it out!!!

When you are composing the post and want to put the link in with that Click Me smiley, select the Chain icon (left of the YouTube logo), put in your link in the URL and in the Description part put in : 5 : (without spaces) i.e. colon5colon [have to show it spaced otherwise the smiley is displayed]

Had a run out today to mooch for my gloves and ended up at J&S in Preston 
Introduced me to these
 click me
Hands were white on the way there but although I wouldn't say my hands were roasting they were definitely warm
This Outlast stuff is amazing
Have to say the lads in the shop were great will definitely return

Anybody got any wise words about battery heated gloves - don't want the ones you plug into the bike - but could do with something a little toastier than the unheated ones I have at the mo.

Lads at J&S in Preston told me this is not true Hein-Gericke but a Chinese backed outfit hence the shocking spelling I guess.
Buyer beware!!!
