Winter gloves

im trying ski gloves, they should be good for this weather. problem with using a road bike is that the mittens obstruct the gear levers, so full finger gloves are a must. I will update when i get some.

I ride with drop bars and hoods, and find the lobster style fine. have bar-end shfters though.

I think that you are spot on with the ski glove theoy. My endura's are nearly identical in construction as my Vans snowboard gloves, which are the best have owned. The separate (or at least one that able to be pulled out) liner allows you to move your fingers withing the stiffer outer. This helps you keep warm. It also allows you to dry them in a reasonable time.
