These work perfect for me. Cheap enough to throw away if I don't need them.....they're handy to have around because you'll find a ton of other uses for them.
Last year I ordered 6 dozen and split them up with friends. I kept two dozen and have about 6 pairs left. I probably only used 6 pairs for actual running.
Good running glove
They are not water proof.
This is why I run

These are the gloves I use. I typically gather as many as I can when they are including them in packet pickup at marathons. I ask my friends if they don't want them. I recently found at a local store (Ollies) these for 2 pair for a $1. So I stocked up. I have only pitched them a few times during races. I find that these work great for me at pretty much all temps in the mid D.C Metro area. I've run at below zero while in the upper pennisula of Michigan and used mittens but after about 8 miles or so my hands were steaming hot. If you have problems with cold hands, mittens is definitely the way to go. Just find some that breathe a little.
At the chickamauga battlefield marathon this year they gave me some awesome gloves for running.. but they're tan so I'm sad
Why does tan make you sad?
I'm tan. I hope I don't make people sad. In general.
I wear my downhill skiing mitts: Gordini brand, waterproof, breathable, very warm.
If it's not cold enough for those, I wear a pair of fleece mittens that have stood the test of time.
I find that mittens work better than gloves because my fingers don't hold any heat if they're separated. (I also have Raynaud's, but mainly only 2 of my fingers lose circulation - but not if kept warm.)
Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done.
Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
in a pinch, i do socks, and i used to do okay with cheapie "magic gloves" from target in layers for warmth, but i dunno. they never lasted longer than a season, or i'd have to layer them up so much my fingers wouldn't be able to share their warmth with each other, etc. they basically just take the sharp edges off the wind, but they never really helped my hands to feel WARM. also i feel bad having an "expendable" attitude about things, even if they're cheap. i don't toss gloves or layers of clothing at races or anything like that. i just can't do it.

they're gloves w/ a windproof/water-resistant stowable mitt part, so they're mittens when you want them to be, but otherwise just gloves.
the fabric is soft and breathable but warm, but really it's that ripstop overmitten that makes them so useful to me. i run along the waterfront of jersey city & nyc, or over nyc's bridges, and it's REALLY WINDY, so yeah, i'm loving them. the wind does not go through!
also loving them for my bike commute. b/c they keep my hands extra-warm, mitten-style, but i can just kick off the mitt part to get to my lock key when it's time to lock up.
I ran with these again today, and it was 20 degrees when i started. my hands were too warm.
the fuzzy part of the outside of these mittens is a nice feature
an amazing likeness
I've enjoyed the 180s running gloves that have the windbreaker mitten cover you pull over your fingers and find they work well (unlike other gloves) down to the low temps near 0F. The covers give a lot of flexibility in how much of your hand is protected from wind.
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

So bittersweet,This tragedyWon't ask for absolution;This melody,Inside of me,Still searches for solution.A twist of faith,A change of heart Cures my infatuation.A broken heart, Provides the sparkFor my determination.
My hands also get really cold when the temp drops to single digits or lower. It took me years to find something that works for me. The best I've found for keeping my hands comfortable is a pair of lightweight gloves under wind-stopper mittens. Much to my surprise, the combination works a lot better than just the mittens by themselves.
