There are a few things to consider when picking out a pair of gloves: First, make sure your fingers almost touch the tips of the glove, but not push against them. A small air pocket will help to trap warmth. Longer cuffs will also help keep you warmer — you want the glove to be able to go under your coat sleeve so there isn't any exposed skin around your wrists.
The thicker your glove, the warmer you'll be — and the clumsier, too, in some cases. Make sure you can easily put your gloves on and take them off indoors. If they start out feeling clumsy, they'll only get harder to manipulate as you (and they) get wetter and colder.
Our top pick is Carhartt's W.B. Waterproof Breathable Insulated Gloves thanks to their moisture-wicking interior that promotes breathability.
Most manufacturers tend to have a similar hand fit across their designs, so it may take a few different brands before you find the one for you. Women's gloves are distinguished by a smaller palm size and longer fingers than men's gloves, but feel free to cross categories if one isn't working right for you. The right pair should fit like... well, you know.
