I realise something when riding home.
I have a Rapha leather glove that the missus brought for me as a present last year, and they're (naturally) not going to be as warm as a proper ski/snowboard gloves.
However, my commute is 11 miles each way, and after says 3 miles with a chilled hands which made me wish I got my skiing gloves, it end up getting warmer after that, (probably due to keeping my arm toasty), it's not to says that the Rapha glove being Raphaly and Pricey kept my hand warm but a decent cycling glove should work fine, just take a while to get it nicely warm.
Unless you live 3 miles away of course.
I realise ski glove work marvellously the first 3 miles, but end up getting sweaty after that, which is fine as long you're not planning to take them off anytime soon.
