You can lose as much as 30% of your body heat through your extremities, so it's important to cover those hands. Here are some options for running gloves:
Brooks Vapor Dry 2 Gloves

These running gloves are made from Brooks' Vapor Dry fabric and spandex, so they'll keep your hands dry and warm, while providing a comfortable form fit. In addition to a terrycloth surface on the thumb and forefingers (for wiping your nose or sweat), the gloves feature a retractable thumb pad for easy MP3-player navigation on the run. Other great features are the gloves' magnets to hold them together between uses and polyurethane finger grips.

Asics Thermopolis running gloves feature Hydrology fabric with thermal properties to provide warmth and comfort in a range of conditions. The gloves also have a terrycloth surface on the thumbs that allows you to wipe your nose or the sweat off your forehead. The box finger design also provides excellent fit and dexterity. And if you sometimes run in the dark, the reflective logo on the back of the running gloves will help you be seen.

For runners who want the added warmth of mittens, but the functionality of running gloves, these "running mitts" do it all. Use the stretch fabric glove in milder weather or pull out the wind resistant mitten hood when needed.
