"There's a special drawer in my office reserved specifically for gloves. I'm really finicky about the right fit, so when I find something I like, I a get a couple pairs and stash them. Though in LA I thankfully don't need a glove for cold and wet conditions very often, but when those two forces combine I'm sorted. Shift's Torrent SS gloves are fully waterproof, and that's half the battle when commuting in crap weather. These things are seriously warm, and will even make my hands sweat if the thermometer isn't low enough.
A goatskin palm and lots of padding offer plenty of protection, so they definitely have one up on any ski gloves you might be tempted to try in inclement weather. Lastly, I can still work my zippers and visor fairly well considering their size."
