Mountain Hardwear Butter Glove
I’m not a trendy urbanite, but I’ve been using the lightweight Mountain Hardwear Butter glove as my go to for like… fifteen years. I’ll use ‘em down to around 10°F or so, but I run hot. I think most normal people use them as 40-50° gloves or as a liner.
One might say that the Butter… is my jam. – AKBrian

Mechanix. The plain, boring original. They fit well, they put up with a season’s worth of abuse and you don’t have to feel bad if one day you unexpectedly have to bork them up enough to just toss them in the trash. The perfect mix of functional/robust/disposable. – icrashbikes
Probably not what you’re looking for, but I tend to use my Mechanix gloves as everyday gloves. Have them in my jacket pockets right now at my business casual job. Warm enough for scraping the windows in the morning, but light enough to not get hot. Durable, but cheap to replace. Can still grip things very easily. Can still work the controls in the car and they work as driving gloves.
And they come in SUPER handy when a coworker’s car breaks and they need a hand. Pop out the Mechanix gloves and not worry about getting them dirty or hurting them 🙂 – LogicalLurker

Biltwell Work Gloves
Everyday motorcycle commuter here (and I mean every-damn-day rain sleet or snow). I have a pair of these.
They are not fancy. They don’t have any special padding or insulation or anything else, just thick heavy-duty leather. BUT, they are very comfortable, tough as nails, and work great on my short commute all year long. Normally I wear out a pair of gloves every year or two, but these have been with me for several years. Yes, they look beat up now. The palms are black from rubber grips, some of the cordovan color has come off revealing the natural leather underneath. They’ve been wet, frozen, baked in the sun. Yet, not a stitch has busted, no seems are open, and I have never repaired them. Yes, they are pricey for a plain-ass pair of leather gloves, but they are “Biltwell” and perform as such. – Rusty Choad
