I have a pair of waterproof Polaris snowmobile gloves. They may be treated nylon but not sure. They are way cheaper than good leather gloves and very comfortable and warm.

Tour Master / Olympia are good choices as mentioned previously.

One thing I wont do without again on winter gloves .... is the "Visor wiper blade" on left index finger or thumb... incredible how bad *** that lil piece of rubber works ... just like a lil windshield wiper blade... extremely functional.

I bought a pair of the FXRG gloves @ $120, If you ride any real length of time in the cold, your fingers freeze. I'm talking 20 - 30 degrees.

I ride to work everyday. This morning it was right around 40 degrees when i left the house. I have a pair of nice gloves, but they are warm weather gloves. By the time I got to work (20 miles later) my fingers were pretty well frozen.

What JB said.Got to a ski shop and try on some snowmobile gloves.Hands never get cold and that's riding in 30 degree temps for a few hours.Went through a few "cold weather" gloves before trying the snowmobile gloves.

+2 on the snowmobile gloves. I also have a pair of snowmobile mittens that are almost too warm, but they work real well in really cold weather.
