As long as they are cheap. $10 gets no-name neoprene fishing gloves:

And not just online.

I like neoprene for freezing wet conditions. Warmer than 3-5C or so
and normal Windtex type cycling gloves seem to work fine for me.

I use those for cold weather windsurfing. They are 2 or 3mm neoprene with
pre-bent fingers. I would look for something a little more breathable and
durable for the bike. I don't ride in the rain but I find my Gortex cross
country ski gloves are nice, and the Gortex should work in the rain too.

Yeah, but I need XXL. Not easy to find in the bargain bin.

I second Joseph's position. I use MEC's "cycling/paddling" gloves, but
the formula is the same: several mm of neoprene all around, some form of
grippy palm.

They're my favorite wet-and-miserable gloves, and they make winter
riding in Vancouver a cheerful affair.

The downsides are that they barely breathe and they stink, but they are
washable and my hands don't get cold.

Did I mention they're cheap?

In the bargain or left over bin there are always XXL and XXS. The
average sizes, which I need, never. Maybe XXL is the average size on
your side of the pond.

When I go to most stores, the racks are full of L and XL gloves, but
precious few in M size. :(
