No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

a same pair for running, yoga, pilates and pull ups and other core exercises in winter.

what I use now are regular leather gloves. While thin for leather, they're a bit stiff sometimes. I was wondering if there's something out there that might be better.

When it's temperate I don't use gloves, function is mostly to keep me warm while I train.

I mean, pullups and running are very different...

Running you just need anything warm, nothing else matters. Pullups (outside in the winter?) you can't sacrifice grip and should go with something like Mechanix gloves. Just enough to get a layer between you and the bar.

So really, the solution is two items.

If you really want one single solution, military surplus FROG gloves.

They won't be as warm as mittens when running, but you'll be able to easily get your sleeves over them to seal up and trap air. And they're designed to deal with wet/cold as well as the fire resistance they're named after so outdoor cold pullups should be fine.

But still won't have the straight grip as Mechanix gloves, or the warmth of bulky gloves/mittens that would be useless for pullups.

nothing else matters

Not agreed. You need something that wicks away moisture as well.

I'm not sure how it would be possible to use gloves for yoga? Would it slip orfeel weird doing downward dog?

I'm no kind of expert, but I love my Bontrager (or other brand) fingerless riding gloves. I originally got them for cycling, but they're so light and effective that I wear them year-round, pretty much. Unlike cotton (etc), they wick up moisture nicely.

That said, yeah-- when it gets much below 0°F, I'd say ditch the dang'ol riding gloves, lol.

I loved my Bontrager riding gloves; used them for 30 years before they fell apart. They were the fingerless kind; worked great for cycling and pullups/weights; not so good for running/pilates/yoga.

For running, I have some merino wool cutoffs with a leather pad and flip top mittens. Used them for 20 or so years. I usually start wearing them when the temperature gets close to freezing; being able to flip the mitten tops on and off helps a lot with temperature control.
