As I mentioned before, my winter glove situation wasn't perfect. My hands would get cold in extreme cold weather and I'd lose the feeling in my fingers for a brief period of time.
Last winter when I did try to find some Lobster Gloves, they were all sold out from the places I checked (REI, Penn Cycle, Erik's). The other night my wife and I made a voyage out to Ikea, and on our way just happened to pass by an Erik's. I darted in and found a pair, made the $65 purchase (though it pained me to spend that sort of money), and went on our way.
The sales guy and I chatted for a few minutes about winter commuting. His opinion was that most days you don't need to use the Lobster glove, but when it's friggin' cold, you can count on it to keep your hands cold. He said his hands sometimes sweat in them but he's never gotten cold while using them.
I am excited to have them, as my hands getting cold was the most uncomfortable part of biking in the winter.
[These Lobster gloves are ready for winter riding.]
