They're pretty expensive, but then there's this to consider:

Those look like the same glove as the T-5 with a battery option, I got some T5's not long ago, very nice glove with a fleece lining, not thin but not as thick as the held Freezer gloves I bought last year - which incidentally cost just $30 less than the T-5 gloves and my hands still got cold after a while.
Those will be thinner as are a couple of the HD branded gloves but rather than use your battery tender pigtail with an adapter - install the Gerbing pigtail and use their adapter to plug in your battery tender as the Gerbing pigtail is heavier.
I picked up this glove set from Gerbing's, and bought an adapter to run these from my battery tender connector. These are heated gloves and keep your hands very nice and warm.

I have an old pair of Harley gauntlets. Not super warm on their own, but in a zippered pocket on the wrist they have a wind proof mitten that slides over - very thin. The combo of insulation and wind breaking is great.
Also - another tip that I wouldn't believe unless it worked for me is - layer to keep your core warm.
The blood then does not go to your core to keep your organs warm and then can go to you extremities to keep them warm.
I once layered to the extreme to see what would happen, and in January in Pennsylvania, my hands were about steaming from the amount of warming blood that was in them...
It works - try it. Layer your torso to keep your hands and feet warm.
Weird but true.

I bought these gloves from the local harley dealer. They are pretty thin but very warm. I have only worn them a couple times and always keep my hands warm. I wore them on a morning ride that was 36* when we left, my hands were nice and warm.

So I have been battling tingly fingers these last few days of riding. As the mercury drops, I find myself needing a warmer pair of gloves.
Here's the catch, I hate the feeling of the bulky cold weather gloves that I already have, it feels like I am disconnected from the grips entirely.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good pair of warm gloves that will keep the feeling in my fingers when riding in near freezing temps, that are thin, low profile and don't look/feel like ski gloves?
Cheers,
jld!

You can run out and by the biggest, thickest, bulkiest gloves you can find. You can pay a million dollars for the "best" cold weather gloves on the market. But, if you don't have a fairing to protect your hands OR your gloves are heated, you're hands will get cold.

At least I did not have to say it this time. But there is this to consider - Your fellow riders will mock you and call you a *****, but the truth is you will be a warm ***** and they are secretly jealous!Quote:
