I
If you don't want the lobster type gloves then I've had a pair of SealSkinz gloves for the past 3 winters that are excellent. I was reluctant at first given my bad experience with their waterproof socks (that fill up with water when cycling) but a friend who runs a bike shop was so insistent that they were very warm that I bought some. He was right.
I've had exactly the opposite experience; socks brilliant, gloves useless. Or useless until I wore a thin cotton liner glove with them. Was talking to Emilia yesterday who'd been wearing SealSkinz socks for the first time; a wet day and she was raving about how warm and dry her feet were. Sealskinz socks are popular with couriers and they tend to go with what works. Water can run down your leg in to them when the cuffs stretch a bit but wearing tights over the top stops this. But even if it does they keep the wind out so well that I've still had wet but warm feet.
My hands rarely get cold, usually get through winter with just cotton gloves or thin wool gloves (the Brikos are good) over my mitts. Have a pair of Cannondale branded Lobster gloves which are almost always too hot and are very cumbersome.
