I usually only wear gloves during the winter. Generally bare hands during the summer.
So, winter gloves are ski gloves. I snagged a pair of Goretex ski gloves the other day, and whew, that made quite a difference in the rain
I have a pair of rubber/plastic grip, knit back yellow reflective work gloves… somewhere. But, they were only marginal at keeping the hands warm and had a bit of a plasticky feeling.
One of the big issues here in the PNW is rain protection, so whatever I choose has to not degrade in rain, and best if they are water-resistant.
I think I’ve tried work gloves in the early fall and late spring. All in all, you can look here and pick gloves for bikes.
My husband’s got a Boardman MTB and is very happy with it despite a few places where the white paint has been chipped (he blames me for that though).
If it were me, I’d definitely consider a Boardman – they always seem to be excellent value even at full price.
I use Boston Soapworks stuff… works great…
