Any source for cheap XC gloves?

Anyone know where to get cheap thin-but-insulated gloves good for XC?

I recall a link a couple years ago to a bike catalog that was selling
thin uninsulateds for $10. I got some, they were good.

Someone else mentioned Lowes having a good cheap glove (uninsulated).
So anything good cheap out there this year?

Jeff,
For several years I went to local sporting goods stores like Sports
Authority, MC Sports, Dunhams, etc. that sold cheap downhill skis.
Around late February all of them would mark the ski clothing down about
30% to 50%. I got several pair of Polartech fleece gloves in various
thicknesses from those sales. I even got some Hind Drylete headbands for
half off at Sports Authority.
The Gibralter Trade Centers would have these Golf "Dump" Shows in
October where golf shops unload unsold stuff. Most winter golf gloves
are cotton, but one vendor at those shows sold winter golf gloves that
were Polarfleece on the back. The palm side were very soft and thin
Kangaroo skin (like regular golf gloves). These were the best spring X-C
gloves I ever had, and were super driving gloves too.
Sierra Trading Post sometimes comes up with some bargins. I got some
Pearl Izumi lobster gloves for less than half the $40 list price.
Cheers,
Bruce Freeburger

Mechanix gloves are about $20 at major auto supply shops and would OK
fo warm (above freezing) skiing or perhaps colder if you already have
a liner glove to use with them.

get a pair of Manzella liners for $3 and the OR Windy Ridge gloves for
$15. Lots of other options.

I've been finding really good fleece gloves at Costco for $10. They've
got leather (well probably fake leather) reinforement in the palm and
thumb, right where you need it for pole straps. Anyway, they work for
me -- just used them for an hour lunch-time ski on an icy rail trail.
