Lobster Glove Questions, Answered
What does the lobster design do?
It pairs two fingers in each compartment. That keeps your hands warmer than standard gloves, while leaving more control for brakes and gears than a mitten.
Which size should I choose?
They come in XXS to XL. Several reviewers say they run small, so if you're between sizes choose the larger one.
Are they waterproof?
They have a windproof, waterproof outer layer. Some reviewers say their hands stayed dry in heavy rain, though one found the palm soaked up water.
Can I use my brakes and gears?
It takes a little getting used to. One reviewer splits their fingers one and three on the brake hand for easier control.
How quickly will it arrive?
Orders placed by 2pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day. Standard UK mainland delivery is free on orders over £35 and takes 2–5 working days.
Can I return it?
Yes. Return it unused in its original packaging within 30 days of receipt for a full refund. Orders placed between 1 October and 31 December can be returned until 31 January.
