Bikes: the ever shifting stable loaded with comfortable road bikes and city and winter bikes

In all my years riding serious mileage all year round in the NW, the glove combo I settled on was waxed leather over wool.

Get some leather gloves large enough to comfortably fit RAGGWOOL liners in. Not wimpy nouveau Smartwool or Patagucci liners, use those as a third layer if needed.

Heat them up, then Snoseal or Obenauf's the heck out of them. Put them in a warm place overnight, wipe off the excess.

This was the glove I'd choose for my winter tours on the Olympic Peninsula or into the Cascades, and those wet, 80 mile days in January, riding up from Seattle for some pie at the Snohomish Pie Company.
