Bought some Endura Windproof gloves from my LBS last week but my fingers were still cold when I got to work. Need to research better ways to keep my fingers warm.
How long/far is your commute? What's the terrain like? My biggest problem in the cold is my toes feeling frozen, and also when it's down in the 20's, keeping my face warm without fogging my glasses up (nearly impossible it seems). My fingers usually get cold early on, then warm up as I go on. But then again I also commute over 15 miles each way.
