neoprene gloves

I tested my neoprene gloves last night on a 5.5 mile ride. Temp was in the teens (F) with a brutal headwind the whole way. Early in the ride, I was noticing slightly cold hands, particularly the pinkies. By the time I arrived at my destination my hands were sweating (as were head & back). Next time I will try them with liners, as they start feeling a little clammy with the sweat in there. The work a lot better than my ski gloves though, which are a little 'poofy' and catch on shifters / brake levers. The neoprene is more streamlined & still windproof. But does not breathe at all!
