I discovered long ago that that in the cold my hands still perspire and when that moisture gets trapped inside a glove lining my hands get even colder, regardless of how much insulation there may be. So I started wearing "disposable" nitrile gloves, 5,6, or 7 mil versions. They are reusable, simply take them off, inside out, rinse, pat dry and hang on clothes hanger with a clothes pin. I wear them 'till they tear, which can take weeks. They're thin enough to wear under any other glove. Leather is by far preferred. I wear basic Kinco or Wells Lamont gloves that sell for $10-15. Kinco has better quality control. If my hands get too warm(wet inside the nitrile glove, I take the nitrile off and wear just the leather. I can wear the leather gloves with the nitrile from 30F and the leather alone in the 60's. They're windproof but breathe beautifully, and they have a natural ability to insulate and yet not roast your hands as it gets warmer. The nitrile gloves that are textured also make great rain gloves on their own, far better than any coated or laminated overpriced ones.

You can call this a vapor barrier, but I dislike that term because there's endless preconceived notions about them. Even reading this, someone will dismiss and critique it, and that's fine, then this isn't relevant for that someone who either hasn't done it, had the need to, or tried it just to diss it. If what you're wearing isn't working out try some nitrile gloves under anything you wear. Yes you'll notice your hands will get damp, even wet, but sweat won't be pouring out of them as there comes a point of saturation that the hands cease sweating. That moisture is a good thing, it's staying on your hands and not trapped into your insulation. So while the idea of wicking perspiration sounds off the skin and into the fabric is fine and works great in certain situations, it's not for every situation. A box of 100 can be had for $10-20 depending on where you shop. Plus if you get the more durable ones like 6 or 7 mil, you can wear them for working on your bike.

Neoprene sorta works, but they're hard to flip inside out to rinse and well, they're overpriced and limited by the features of the glove. With nitrile liners you can wear any glove, even summer cycling gloves if it's mildly cold in the AM and warms up later.

And that the story and I'm stickin' to it
