I’m intending to buy some gloves to use for commuting on cold days. I’m looking for something wind-proof, fairly light, and hopefully a bit water resistant.

Here are three sets of gloves that I’ve been looking at:

  • Outdoor Research, commuter windstopper gloves
  • Arc’teryx, Venta gloves
  • Rab, Vapour-Rise gloves

I don’t really know if any of those are good options. But they seem roughly what I’m looking for.

I’m wondering what gloves other people wear, and if you have any recommendations.

[edit] Although the primary purpose of the gloves is for commuting; I’d also like them to be my general “go to” gloves for whenever they are needed when visiting cold places.

    Haven’t had too much gloves, got a pair of Santini Fjord gloves but turned out to be a bit of an overkill and they leave my hands with a smell worse than my stinky feet (!). Also got a pair of Spiuk Top Ten which do the job but the velcro is quite finicky imho and there is a kind of poliester-y thin layer on top of tome parts of the palm that has started to peel off in a nasty way, but however doesn’t affect in a single bit their functionality.
