Winter Gloves

I managed to track down a pair of Axiom Gailforce Lobster winter gloves yesterday at my local bike shop. At $49 they are very well priced compared to the competition, and the only gloves that seem to rate winter conditons on a sliding scale - temperature, water resistance, wind resistance and more.

Rated down to -20C and waterproof they should hopefully do the trick (my only concern is the terry cloth thumb area used for wiping sweat or let's afce it, snot). I've read reviews for similar glove styles that complain about cold thumbs, but short of buying ski gloves it appears to be a standard feature on cycling gloves. I'll post my review once I can make good use of them - Murphy's law, we've had +3C temperatures so far this week.
