I've just bought a pair of Altura Nightvision Windproof gloves - £19.99 at my LBS (but strangely more expensive at Wiggle! http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Altura_Night_Vision_Windproof_Gloves/5360044980/), lightweight, comfortable and seem very snug and insulating - remains to be seen if they will be warm though! They should be, neoprene is usually toasty.

I have the Endura's for on my road bike in winter, the only problem I find on really wet days when I take them of the inside glove goes inside out making them hard to put back on. Other than that I find them great but for the really cold days on the commute I'd opt for my bulkier spesh radiants.Uncle Mort said:

Got Altura Nightvisions - they are toasty.... used some decathlon MTB, lightweight gloves for much of the winter, then the Altura's came out for the real cold stuff.
Decathlon's road gloves are good - tight fit, but warm, but allow a good deal of movement and aren't bulky.
If you suffer cold hands, then deffo go for warmer gloves.

I think there are two variants of people - those with warm hands and those with no circulation - I fall into the later group, and for example the Night Vision Gloves just aren't good enough by a long way. Probably my best gloves are the AmFib ones worn with a silk liner underneath, but I still loose my circulation (Reynaulds sufferer). I am thinking of getting some of those silver gloves this year to see what they are like. Has anyone tried them and found they helped?
The point about circulation is a very good one. For instance yesterday I forgot my gloves (they were upstairs once I had locked up and I was running late...) so off I went. My hands were not warm, but not freezing either. I have use spesh radiants down to -8 and been nothing but toasty.

Well, i've used my new Sealskinz technical mountainbike gloves now for two mornings in the pouring rain........Not only do they feel damp inside after my commute ( could be sweat !!! ) But, trying to get your hand out of the bloody lining is near impossible. No matter how hard i try the lining keeps coming halfway out. Which makes it a real pain to get your hand back in.
Does anyone else have these gloves??? And do you suffer the same problem???

Yes - and no. Hold them by the tips when removing your fingers. They are waterproof for a while but eventually they let the water in.

Well, after using my new gloves again for my commute home in the rain, it seems my superduper sealskinz gloves are about as waterproof as a sponge. One is better than the other. My right hand was soaked.....LOL.
They're back to the shop for a refund today !!!!

Just spent £1.50 on a pair 
Thinsulate from Boyes 
ok, they clearly have no grip, and they wont be waterproof, but they feel decent quality and warm!
No doubt i'll be lashing out on a proper cycling pair, but thought I would try these just for the sake of it.
