Put on a pair of disposable latex gloves under your regular riding gloves. They block all wind, retain heat, and do not add bulk. Only problem I've ever had doing this is that your hands will actually sweat if it is not cold enough outside.

Has anyone tried "Ice Armor" gloves? I might order some this week? The gloves I use now are ok down to about 35-ish (if im only riding to work....5miles). A couple of weeks ago I went on a PGR mission that was about a 2hr ride to get there. It was in the 30's when I left and about 45min into the ride my hands were done. I pushed thru it but I def need something better.
Here is the link. They have a few different styles.

I am an avid snowboarder and will not use them to ride on my harley. Had a set on when I first started riding, came to a traffic area and reached out to grab my front break and the excess material on the glove wrapped up and got stuck. This prevented me from grabbing my front break. Locked up the rear trying to stop and if the cars in front of me had been riding the line I would have hit one of them. Went up between about 5 cars before my locked up rear tire finally brought my bike to a stop.
Went out to wal-mart and picked up a $15 pair of normal black leather gloves. Been riding with them for 3 years in 20's, 30's, and 40's and been fine.

I met a guy when I was getting gas who rides with 2 pairs of gloves.
One pair he wears on his hands, and the other pair he jams under his tank.
He said he always has a warm pair of gloves to put on. He also had carpet on his gas tank for his dog. He got the piece of carpet in Utah, but I didn't find out why the dog wasn't on it. He had an unusual helmet, too, and it took him awhile to get it off beause it was tangle in his hair. He was still talking as he walked away to pre-pay for his gas, and I didn't see any Blueteeth in his ear.
Sometimes, not having a 6-gallon gas tank can be a blessing. I was already late for work, and if he'd come back before I left, he would have talked to me for hours.

One of the almost-successful things I tried before I went to plug-in Gerbings was to wear those thin cotton glove-liners.
One of the semi-successful things I tried before I went to plug-in Gerbings was to wear latex gloves.
The most successful thing I tried was to wear the latex (larger size, of course) over the cloth glove liner.
But then, I figured if I was going to wear all that builk on my hands, I might as well toss that set-up in the saddlebags and get heated gloves. I also got a vest (it's a handy wiring-harness for the gloves). When my last bike was totalled, all of my heated gear (except the power lead) was at home. If I'd had heated grips, they'd probably be gone.

In my option every pair of gloves, liners, etc someone buys just makes the final cost of keeping your hand warm even more money than if they went out and bought a pair of Gerbings in the first place.
