I have a set of waterproof ski gloves that manage pretty well down to the 20s. And I have fleece gloves for when it's dry and cool. But wet & cool is a tricky combo. Any favorite gloves for keeping hands warm (and maybe dry, though I think I've heard good things about wool gloves) when it's 38 and raining?

I use poly or wool liners and those cheap <$10.00 gloves at home depot. They are those work gloves dipped in rubber, waterproof and give a good grip on wet bars.

Now that is a good idea, I went out the other day at about 38F with rain and my hands got a bit colder than I would have liked. The gloves you mention, seem like they'd work just fine, thanks

As you know, 38 and raining is the whole winter here in WA! :) I'm still experimenting but the ones I like best so far are completely unfashionable:

They do a great job though, grippy on the handlebars, full dexterity for shifting and completely water/wind proof. I warm them up on my heating vent in the AM, my hands are warm most of the ride. I'm tinking about getting a larger pair and trying wool liner gloves inside them.

That's what I used all last winter they work well. And a cheap.
