Gloves are one one of those things I go cheapo on because I know I'll end
up losing them. Plus hand warmth has never been an issue for me - good

The gloves I do use are those glove/mitten hybrids where you can flip up
and velcro the mitten part and have a 'glove' with exposed finger-tips. It's
convenient for fiddling with the bike.
