Cyclocross gloves

Do people go too warm or attempt to go light on their gloves. And what model do you use? I'm sure my body temp will increase a fair amount but hate cold hands.
I'm in Vermont and will do three races between early October and early November.
Thanks,

I’d say start with whatever you would normally wear while riding during the fall months.

Personally, I like a thin glove. I use the Giro DND’s specifically. I have a pair of old ones that i cut down for half finger gloves for when it’s warmer.

Right now, with temps in the 50s-60s, I’ll use the half finger gloves or no gloves.

And yes, you’ll warm up quite a bit during a race.

same, thin glove so you don't sacrifice grip and dexterity. Giro Rivet for me personally. I have a second pair of warmer gloves I wear during the course preview and/or a jacket or extra jersey. I want to start the race cold because I will overheat.
