I picked up a pair of winter riding gloves yesterday. Here's a description swiped from

TEKNIC THUNDER GLOVES: $60, Leather Construction
Teknic's gladiator-grade mitts have precurved fingers for a good fit and are constructed with top-quality cowhide and a leather palm for superior abrasion resistance. Inside is a 100-percentÂ-breathable Powerskin membrane, with superior Thermolite insulation for warmth. A rubber squeegee on the lower forefinger of each glove allows you to wipe your helmet visor. A layer of suede covers the pinkie-finger seam, and a beefy, multi-adjustable cuff system seals out the weather while providing abrasion resistance -- this is probably the best-protected cuff here. There are additional reinforcements and padding in the palm. A wrist strap secures it.
Cheers: Good value, sufficient warmth for cool weather. Superior gauntlet protection and padding.
Jeers: Somewhat bulky and stiff; virtually no reflective materials. Need significant break-in; closures a chore to operate.
Personal Note. I didn't fine the jeers to be true in my case, except for the lack of reflective material. No break in seemed to be needed for me.
I've worn them a couple of times since I got them home. This morning it was 35 degrees, with a cold, strong, north wind blowing. I rode for a little over an hour, at speeds up to 60 mph, and my hands didn't get cold at all. At 48 degrees yesterday, they were downright hot.
I also got them slightly oversized so I can wear a pair of glove liners under them if needed.
So far, so good.
