The Pearl Izumi Am-FIB Lobster Evo Glove features a split-finger design that looks a little funny, but it lets your two smallest fingers keep each other warm, with plenty of wiggle room to keep the circulation flowing. So the gloves end up being nearly as warm as a mitten, but they’re flexible enough to let you shift and brake with confidence—important when the pavement is icy or you don’t know what lurks beneath the snow. Wirecutter’s Michael Berk, who has used similar gloves through decades of East Coast winter cycling, said he had yet to find anything better. The decent-size fleece surface on the back is great for wiping away the inevitable winter snot or for wiping your glasses, if you’re so inclined. (If your fingers are still getting numb, though, even in lobster gloves, maybe consider the Sealskinz heated gloves that we suggest in our gift guide for cyclists—they’re pricey and bulky, but they might work for you.)
