ok, and i'm not just talking about full fingered gloves. I'm trying to find a pair of gloves that are warm, but i got really long fingers, and they are very skinny. When i find some long enough, i can just about put both hands in one cause they are so wide.

I've also got long skinny fingers.

For rides where the temperature is only down to around the freezing point 0C/32F or maybe just a bit lower, I simply use $1 minigloves under my regular cycling gloves. They're a stretchy knit (one-size-fits-all) which is fine for a while. Eventually I do come through at the fingertips, but they usually last a few months, and for $1, I can afford to replace them a few times a year.

For colder temps, I just go with ski gloves or mitts I get from Canadian Tire. Yes, they're wide but it's better than freezing my hands at -12C/10F or colder!

Always thought those were one-size-fits-most. Never did like those, has something to do with losing 50% of my thumb usage. and having the wrist part accross my hands.

i did find a pair of fleece gloves, am hoping i'll be able to put those inside my ski-gloves. am hoping that will take up some of the slack.

now when summer comes... might have to stick with half-fingered gloves. Although i'm tempted trying to find a different pair this year.
