Winter gloves

I use the Castelli Pioggia for cold rides ( < 38 F) and the Castelli Chiro
for wetter warmer rides (39 - 60 F). Spare gloves work well for longer
rides, but I use one pair of the above for rides <= 2 hours.

I've had the best luck with a thin liner glove with a wool glove over it. The liner stops the wind that gets in through the wool. The best part is that you can get a five pack of wool gloves from Andy and Bax for $10. Then there are always extras when you lose one.

The following comments are for training rides not for commuting....

Recognizing that the really waterproof gloves end up being too hot and your hands end up sweating and getting wet from the inside and that more breathable water

My favorite winter gloves are low tech and cheap. I have spent years experimenting with cycling and skiing gloves, but the pair I keep going back to cost me $12 on a NY street corner 11 years ago. They are durable and keep my fingers comfortable at a wide range of temperatures and wetnesses.

They are regular fleece gloves. Nothing special.

They allow the skin the breathe, without allowing for windchill to sacrifice warmth. My hands do get wet in the rain, but I can't tell because they don't lose warmth. They are good from 40 - 60 degrees. When it's colder than that I wear lobster claw shells and am fine.

I always have cold hands and that has always been an issue when I ride in cool weather, but my fleece gloves rock.
