I've been using the Home Depot work gloves as the OP posted for a few years now during the winter months. They work great in the 30f-50F degree temps on winter mornings here in Southern California. The half-finger gloves at HD don't work as well, so in summer I use the terri-cloth-backed house brand sold at Performance Bike (they were 1/2 price just after Christmas so I bought 4 pairs ).
