Fleet farm has some nice heavy riding leather gloves that have an extra cover for wind and rain that are awsome
I belive these are the ones I have www.fleetfarm.com/detail/interstate-leather-lined-gauntlet-gloves/0000000014341

I've read mixed reviews and they have a bunch of different styles. Do you have personal experience with any of them? Thanks.

No, I had some of their socks to use when I did cross country skiing, they were good, pretty water proof.

I ended up purchasing 6 different pairs of gloves and tested each at about 20°F for at least 20 minutes of riding at consistent speeds of up to 35mph. I am not going to comment on style, comfort, or fit as all are extremely subjective and it would be a pointless exercise. The ONLY thing I will discuss here is the gloves' ability to block freezing wind. Here are the different gloves I tested (in alphabetical order):

Black Diamond Digital Liner Glove (blackdiamondequipment.com/en/digital-liner-glove-BD801061_cfg.html)
Dakine Blockade Glove (www.dakine.com/p/mens/gloves-mitts/blockade-glove)
The North Face Pamir Windstopper Etip Glove (www.amazon.com/North-Face-Pamir-Windstopper-Glove/dp/B00GWNH72I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425592563&sr=8-1&keywords=the+north+face+men%27s+pamir+windstopper+etip+glove)
Seirus Blizzard Windstopper Glove (www.seirus.com/snow-sports-detail/2316/?ltag=)
Seirus Softshell Lite (www.seirus.com/sun-protection-detail/2190/?ltag=sun-protection-ByTag/uv-gloves/)
Seirus Xtreme All Weather Glove (www.amazon.com/Seirus-Mens-Xtreme-Weather-Glove/dp/B0018BL3CE)

The two best pairs were the Seirus Blizzard Windstopper Gove and the Seirus Xtreme All Weather Glove. Ultimately, I went with the Xtreme because I felt that it was *slightly* better at stopping wind, but the difference was negligible (and may have even just been in my head). As for the others, they were all noticeably worse. I was previously unfamiliar with the Seirus brand, but although I only have personal experience with these three styles, perhaps they just make very good, windproof gloves. If you're looking for warm riding gloves that offer good dexterity I would check out one of these Seirus styles.

thanks for the review.
