Specialized Bicycles Radiant glove | $60.66
BikeRadar verdict
"Full-size winter glove for beating the elements, come what may"
The Radiant is a big-looking glove and is packed with thermal and water-beating layers. Luckily it’s got a good finger fit and thin palm, so you aren't left entirely without dexterity.
We wouldn’t do too much technical riding in them as you still feel a little disconnected, but when the mercury drops, they're big on warmth thanks to the Thinsulate insulation.
A dash of reflective piping helps make the glove visible to motorists — never a bad thing for dark winter rides — and the palm has a grippy, rubberised feel which helps provide a solid contact with the handlebar, especially in the wet.
Manufacturers description
The weather is rotten outside but nothing is going to stop you from getting on your bike for a spin. This insulated and fully waterproof glove is designed for wind-chilled weather down to 30°F/0°C.User Reviews

User review of Specialized Bicycles Radiant glove
Great for cold days, not when it's wet. I've also got a pair of Sealskinz Mountain Bike gloves which are much better at doing their job and cheaper too. Radiant's are great for really cold days but the one time I used them in the wet, they soaked up the water like a sponge.

User review of Specialized Bicycles Radiant glove
Warm gloves (I find that temperatures indicated by Specialized are quite conservative) which may become too warm when temperature rises clearly above 0. I haven't used them on rainy day.
Their bulkiness makes them more adapted to commuting than to sport rides.

User review of Specialized Bicycles Radiant glove
nice and warm, and wonderfully waterproof....just a bit bulky.
The wee pocket for handwarmer sachets is a stroke of genius for those all-day sub-zero rides.
