In December I was tired of freezing my hands with fall weight gloves and ran down to the local Cycle Gear to buy some insulated and waterproof gloves. Despite planning on buying some $99 Alpinestars for some reason I walked out of the store with these Frank Thomas Storm aqua gloves for only $40. Armored knuckles, leather palms, waterproof and good control feel have made these an ideal glove. I'm not saying that you couldn't get better but for the price I doubt you could.
