The pair I decided to try can be seen at the h-d site:
98158-95VM Men's Windshielder Gauntlet Gloves

I have a pair of those, worthless as **** on a duck below 45 degrees.

I've tried many different gloves and combinations of gloves with liners and rubber surgical gloves underneath. Riding in temps under 30 it would get unbearable cold after awhile. So I eventually got the heated glove liners last year. Huge difference. Now it doesn't matter down in the teens or single digits, my hands stay warm. The set of first gear liners with the trolled was 170 bucks. I probably spent three times that over the years trying tomavoidmbuying heated gear. Go to heated gloves and problem solved. I do layers for the rest of the body with no,problems. But the hands never worked till heated gear

All the previous posts just remind me of why I no longer ride this time of year. Refuse to dress like the Michelin Man and its just not fun. Will keep reading to see if those gloves appear. Still looking for them and must be waterproof too.

I don't understand anyone's reluctance on getting heated gloves. Especially if money isn't an issue. They work superior to non-heated gloves. Period. If you want warm hands while riding in temperatures below 40* get heated gloves. You'll wonder why you didn't get them before.

Riding is fun, you just need to be dressed for the weather.

Riding's too much a part of my life not to do it because of the weather.

I don't like being cold. I think I will spring for the full monty of heated gear, gloves, jacket, pants and socks. I can get it for about $700 with a dual controller.
