I bike all year round and have been through a fair few brands over the years but for the last 5 years or so I've been happy with Held gloves, I have a lovely pair of their leather summer gloves which cost a fortune but will probably last forever, their winter gloves seem equally well made but are much cheaper, I use these

-and they show no signs of falling apart. The trick with winter gloves is their windchill protection and insulation and these are very good. The longest ride I did with them was 340 miles Lizard peninsular to Essex on new years day with a frosty wind and temperature near zero. My hands weren't toasty, but wern't freezing either and they never ever get cold on my 38 mile commute in. 'As good as it gets I think. Good price too!
