I'll chime in on also wearing gloves all the time. Cuts down vibration in my elbows!

I like my full-fingered gloves better, but they feel too warm to me in the summer, so I switch to halvsies.

Honestly, halvsies are a bit more convienent because I have more dexterity for doing things so I don't have to take the gloves off (such as trying to pull my ID card out of my wallet when I get to the gym).
