Depends on what you call cheap. You can put rubber gardening gloves over polyprop gloves if you want really cheap - just dont fall off your bike while wearing them

Go around the bike shops and do comparisons...they normally carry some "entry level" stuff as well as the good gear. Have you checked out Quasis ad on this site?

They might be good, but cordura or leather (unless coated) will tend to soak water into the outer layer meaning you will be carrying around wet gloves for a day or so after every time it rains. The beauty of shell overgloves (and 1 piece rain suits for that matter) like the rain-offs is that the water beads off them so they dry heaps quicker, and scrunch up into little balls of nothing.

In the cold frost and light rain would be fine, they are warmer than my dririder nordics ($89) but no glove likes continuous downpours without soaking up hence the need to use the overgloves to stop the water getting in. The overgloves also reduce wind-chill by a considerable amount.

I would give the gloves a go by themselves and then get the overgloves if you still need them. Still cheaper than what most are selling their so called waterproof winter gloves for. I have seen many over $250 and the reviews still have people complaining of the cold and the gloves getting wet. So not really inclined to spend that myself.

Quasi's winter glove looks good, but not sure if it will be any warmer.

I ride all year round so 7am rides in July-September call for something more than just your average winter weight glove.

I got caught in a couple of those massive dumps of rain we have been getting lately, in fact the second dump had hail about as big as a pea belting down on my wet weather gear. When I got back to the garage at home I hung my sopping wet gear up to drain. I carefully took my gloves of my hands which felt wet & cold. To my surprise my hands were as dry as a bone. The name of the glove is a Joe Rocket and retail for $85
They could be a bit warmer though. Quasi's are a warmer glove but I have yet to try Quasi's gloves in the rain. But the Joe Rocket gloves are 100% waterproof!!

I have a set of Quasimoto's winter gloves, and they are as warm as, and recommend them... They are beautifully crafted and the also made from the best materials money can buy. Also the stitching is as good as you will ever see!! no bullshit.

Quasimoto owners obviously have a very high standard and reputation to keep, and only the very best will do. I am yet to ride in the wet with them. If they are as waterproof as they are warm. They will be the best purchase in NZ for the dollars. Anyway you don't have to take my word for it. Buy a pair and experience these awesome crafted real warm gloves for yourself.
