I hate winter gloves
I haven't found a pair yet that I like. I have 3 pairs of them and they all feel bulky on the controls when I ride. The last pair I bought was the heated HD gloves. I also have a textile gauntlet pair and a thinner leather pair. The leather ones don't keep my hands warm enough so I use them for spring and fall.
I would like to get a pair that isn't bulky on the controls but I don't seem to be able to find any. I wonder what you all use when you ride in the winter?

I use a pair of Gerbings heated gloves. They work great. The only control is about 2" x 4" and mounts on the tank ( that's where I put mine anyway ). I only plug them up when the temps go below about 40 degrees. Otherwise, if temps are at least 60+ degrees, I just wear a thin pair of leather gloves.

I have a pair of long gauntlet leather gloves and they work fine in temps above 45*. I went to Dallas in 36* and my fingers froze. Maybe if I had some rubber gloves inside, I may have been warmer.

Winter riding = bulky gloves. That goes for both heated and regular heavy gloves. I would prefer not having to deal with the bulk too, but it sure beats frozen fingers.
I like the Gerbings Hybrids and am more than willing to put up with some bulk to be in the wind. Keep reminding yourself that spring is around the corner.

For me, I wear a pair of latex or surgical gloves under a mid weight pair of leather gloves. Works for me

I have a pair of HELD Warm N Dry which I love.
They are made to be insulated on the topside and thin on the palm side. The reasoning for this is that your palms are not exposed to the wind, and heated grips, if equipped, will be more effective.
I recommend them
