I find basic cotton running gloves[/URL" target="_blank"> work pretty well for me down through the teens. Below about 10F, I'll put on either two pairs or some wool mitts over them.

black diamond powerstretch gloves. I originally bought them for shooting photos in the winter months but they're great for running too.

I have rheynauds so I have to be extra careful with my fingertips once it gets cold out, so I'm one of those runners who may be in shorts and a tank - and gloves. I've worked out a system that involved different "levels" of gloves, which has worked wonders the last year or two.

Stage 1: If it's dry, white cotton running gloves from one running expo or another. Stretchy gloves from Walmart would probably work just as well. I also have a nice, light pair of Hind running gloves that work better if it's damp or rainy.

Stage 2: Once it gets cold enough to wear pants and a long shirt, I break out my winter running gloves. I'm pretty sure they're also Hind and I picked them up at a running store for about $25. These would probably get most people through the winter - but not me.

Stage 3: Once it dips below freezing, I give in and resort to wearing ski gloves. They're big and awkward, but if the circulation in your fingertips is as bad as mine is, it's the only thing that seems to work.

Hi Erin! Long time no hear from!

My fingers are like Erin's... if I get too cold they turn white from second knuckle down. I have several different weights of fleece gloves, and glove liners and mitts for anything below zero. 10 degrees F is a difficult temp cuz it's easy to "overheat" but still get chilled fingers.

I hate wearing gloves cause after 3 or 4 miles my hands get to warm and sweaty and I end up carrying my gloves the rest of the way. Usually I don't breakout the gloves till it gets below 15F. Till it gets that cold I just pull my sleeves down and hide my hands in them. Then after a couple miles I warm up and pop my hands out.

I have a light pair of running gloves that I use if the temperature is below 35 F or so. I warm up quickly (within 3-4 miles), but find I often put on and take off the gloves several times over a longer running session (16+ miles).

My solution has been to put a safety pin on each glove. Then I just pin the gloves to my running tights on one hip. It looks a little weird, running with two waving hands on one side, but it works.
