Looking for opinions on winter gloves to be used in conjunction with heated grips on a Uly down to 25 degrees. Most of what I read rates "winter" gloves to 40F.

Forgot to specify "non heated" gloves. looking to avoid the expense and hassle of those.

Tourmaster Winter Elites work really well.

They're a little bulky but not as much as most winter gloves.

They're soft and supple right from the get go.

They have three digit rain covers stored into it's own pouch along the cuffs.
The glove is rain proof with out the covers but the covers make a huge difference in warmth when temps are down in the low 30's and 20's. They cut out a tremendous part of the freezing cold wind.

Those tourmasters look nice - 'bout $100. Great features.

If that gets me thru a half hour highway commute at freezing temps I'll have to take a closer look at them. Thanks for the tip.

I have winter gloves from British Motorcycle Gear. They are good but bulky.

I picked up the Tourmaster Winter Elites, rode them at 28 degrees w/o additional liners the other morning and was pretty good. Some silk liners and they should be bomb proof for as long as I can extend my commuting season. Thanks for the opinions.

Cortech Scarabs. Warm, not bulky, and look awesome. Only $60. I've worn mine in 25 degree weather w/o heated grips for over half an hour and stayed pretty toasty.

I have a pair of Olympia winter gauntlets that have MANY seasons on them. Leather with a Gore-tex laminate (to keep out wind), with a Thinsulate insulation. Work fine by themselves into the mid-30s, and down MUCH colder than that with heated grips.

The exact model I own appear to be superceded by these: http://www.olympiagloves.com/glovedetails/4100.htm l

Lee Parks makes leather gauntlet gloves with a type of insulation that helps spread the heat from the grips thru the glove. They look the same as the uninsulated.

Also, try snowmobile racing gloves. I just scored these for cheap: Arctivia: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/9/44/507/2523 2/ITEM/Arctiva-Comp-RR-3-Long-Gloves.aspx
They are available elsewhere, if you don't have small hands and/or don't like blue or red. But hey, for $30, I figured worth a try. Now if only the snow and ice would melt and clear the roads, I could test them!

If you have heated grips ... just get some Quadboss-Hand-Mitts. They work fantastic and lets you wear thinner/summer gloves so you have better feel of the controls. You will be nice and toasty... (unless you have to adjust a mirror while doing 80mph)

I have Tourmaster PolarTek's.

I...wouldn't recommend them. They're no good past 35 or so. My fingertips go numb within 10-15 minutes.
