If you're talking straight up thin gloves for spring or something then get those work gloves from some hardware store with the rubber palms. I use them and they rock.

Gotta agree with this guy. I've been using $9 gloves from Lowes all of early season. Synthetic material so they stay dry, and at that price, you can get 4-5 pairs for the price of some "pipe gloves"

I also use the warm Kinco work gloves for when im working on the hill (also $10-15) which are tough and warm, I Got a pair of Armada Double gloves for 30 bucks for colder skiing days.

Paying $60+ for any gloves (pipe or regular) is just silly.

This. Buy the cheapest pair you could find, and if you still want to get gloves labeled "pipe gloves" take the one on discount. The best thing to do when it comes to gloves is to buy it cheap, because it won't last, no matter how much you spend on it.

Armada pipe gloves blow. Mine get soaking wet in no time at all and the ink bleeds onto your hands.

These I wear them in sub freezing temps and they always keep my hands warm. Only down side is when they get wet they get a tad chilly http://m.backcountry.com/pow-gloves-high-5-mitten
