It's all about the sleeves.
Either go under the cycling jacket (but this means thin which probably won't work) or go over.
If you're going over then account for arms being outstretched, so have enough space to cover the wrists fully even with the jacket sleeves having moved back.
And if the jacket sleeves does move back, allow it to move forward again... soften that line.
I wouldn't choose gloves that had an elasticated wrist like that, I prefer gloves that have an airlock with the point up the arm being a drawstring one:
Bad image (first I can find on Google Images).
But this way you put on the glove... pull the drawstring and it cocoons your wrist and creates an area that allows the sleeve to still have movement whilst acting as a air pocket prior to the one that holds your hand.
This all assumes you're wearing a cycling jacket or something with tight sleeves.
