In winter, I use ski mittens with the little heater envelope in the pocket made for that. But I'm a whole lot farther north than @marzjennings . Mitts after early May or maybe late April until September or October, then longer gloves followed by ski mittens.

In the really cold winter weather I use handlebar mitts and long fingered cycling gloves inside them. That's good for temps down to - 10 C after that I don't ride so often. In the summer finger less gloves with the temps 8 C or more. My biggest problem with the cold weather are the feet.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fingerless, short sleeved top & shorts, and yes it is a tad brisk at 0400 but that's inevitable, I work on the basis of expect it to be cold and you don't feel it as much (mind over matter) but then again I'm with the weird bunch

I've been wearing mitts all this week & it has been a tad hilly in the mornings, but once you're a few miles in you don't tend to feel it too much, well I don't :blush:
You could try thin glove liners under mitts & then if you don't need them on way home they are small enough to stash in a back pocket :okay:

Been wearing fingerless mitts since January. Once I get going I get really hot, and it's nice to have somewhere that keeps cool. I do keep a pair of full finger gloves in my backpack, but I rarely use them, except when it's really cold in winter.

It's been a bit weird this last couple of weeks. If I start off too cold, the ride is horrible as I don't seem to generate the heat But I know with fingered gloves after
7 miles or so, my hands start to sweat and a short time later they have to come off.

Fingerless mitts with some ski liners when it's below 8C in the morning. Keeps fingers toasty and the liners take up no space in the bag for the evening commute.

Thin unpadded gloves for runners can be worn under fingerless mitts if it turns cold and are small enough to put in a back pocket.

TMN for @Soltydog surely then @User13710 - (quickly checks no one else has pointed this out.)
