Interesting suggestions in that there seems, for some reason, that when discussion turns to long finger winter gloves, that there is a preponderance of suggestions made that have no padding, and no protective palm materials in cases of taking a spill (ie. some of the main reasons to wear cycling gloves).

Cause when I wreck in the winter, it's on snow and that's not gonna cut up your hands like pavement or gravel.

I log 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year, riding year-round in Minnesota - I can count on one hand the 'falls' on roads with temps above freezing. Maybe I have excellent bike-handling, or maybe I super cautious ...

LOL! And the likelihood of falling on the road at 45-50F is fairly small ... who's falling without snow & ice??

Now I’ll probably fall, tomorrow. 😂

It was quite embarrassing. Right in front of a group of pretty lady cyclists. SPD pedals and one of the damn bolts had come loose. I was so confused as I was going over. Ended up having to take my foot out of the shoe and twist it nearly 180° before I could get it to unclip!

OMG I hate about that turtle on it's back feeling!
Reminds me a few years back; riding a rail-trail home from work in the late fall dark, I stopped at red light, I go to put one foot down to wait for the green/cross light, but I put my foot in a sink hole I couldn't see. I ended up on the ground for what felt like forever trying to get the top foot unclipped and the bike off of me. Glad it was dark and nobody could see my face

Flyin' under the radar
The material is knit tightly enough to block most of the wind, but it's not wind-proof. That said, I have notoriously cold hands, and these keep me comfy down to ~40F, have no padding, good grip, and work with phone screens.

Whatever’s on sale....
They’re gloves.
Nothing down to 75.
Half fingers to 55.
Full fingers to 45.
Thicker to 35.
Below 35, Brooks wool running gloves in Moss Brown mitten shells, downtube shifters. . I just got some BarMitts.
