I honestly think, all this talk of big padded fluffy warm gloves is ridiculous.
I'm gonna come across a bit Scobley here, but if you don't have particularly sensitive skin on your hands, regular fingerless riding gloves work fine in winter.
Sure you'll have horrifically cold and painful fingers during the first 10 minutes, but I find soon after this, my hands just adjust to the cold and feel fine for the rest of the day.
I only ever really feel it if I've been standing around outside for hours after work before riding home, but then it's only for a few minutes.
I'm also a cycle courier and hate wearing full finger gloves at work, can't stand taking them off all the time just to get a signature or have a ciggie.
HTFU, London. Fingerless gloves in the snow have been fine for me.
