I do both, but most days I usually wear gloves... I always have gotten gloves that have the lil' piece of like, wool material on them because I always have to blow my nose and wipe...lol... and I never carry tissue with me...
and yes, sometimes weather conditions demand it... my hands tend to get cold rather quick in 50 degree weather with a lot of cloud cover...
the Summer season is pulling to a close here in CO, so I will miss having the option of going barehanded however..
