I really like Taiga gear. It's expensive, but it's also top quality and is built to last. It's all made in Canada. https://www.taigaworks.ca/Cycle-Clothing-c10

I've had horrible luck with ShowersPass gear. I had two jackets and a pair of rain pants. All three fell apart in less than a year.

For gloves I use Patagonia expedition weight glove liners inside of a Gore-tex shell when it's really cold. They are lightweight and have good movement.

I think these are very interesting from the Taiga site:

That is exactly what I am looking for in a glove really. The weather here usually get's to around 5 degrees at the lowest with wind chill on some notable cold winter occasions, but it never freezes up like our northern friends have to contend with.

That Taiga site has a lot of great stuff actually thanks for posting that will be threading carefully through it later this evening.
