Winter gloves are important for safety and comfort, but also because they can be worn while riding. If the gloves are too big it will make your hands heat up and allow air to circulate around. It can restrict mobility and blood flow and cause performance problems. Find a middle ground between these two extremes. Winter gloves require more care than gloves that are used for riding in fair weather. For winter gloves, the cuff protects the main glove body from the elements. Look for one that covers the wrist a good bit. Some use Velcro to adjust the fit while others use elastic and a stretchy Neoprene material.
