I'd still look for something breathable but windproof. My cycling gloves are fingerless and utterly useless in the cold weather. I've got a pair of leather gloves with wool lining that are comfortable and cold proof but they make my hands sweat when I cycle so I prefer not to use them over any distance. They are also thick enough that I struggle to press the small buttons on my GPS on the move.
