Second this. Been using snowmobile gloves for a long time. The speeds that snowmobiles reach in winter make cyclists look they are standing still and the gloves actually block that wind. They also have the long cuff which is nice.

that said, I just bought a set of bar mitts as well as I want to try those out.
