If you want the best and still made in the USA, go with Gordon Gerbing heated.

Yep, every one in a while it is in the 30s even in San Diego. A friend gave me a pair of snowmobile gloves, and they're great. I don't recall the brand, they might b Polaris... or something like that. They're packed with my cold weather gear, like long sleeve shirts...

I'd like to try a pair of Areostich wool lined leather gloves.
I wasn't excited about them like I thought I would be. Been years since I wore them. Once I bought a bike with a fairing, didn't matter as much. I put heated grips on my Ultra. But they were way to hot. Had to cycle them on and off. Not a problem with stuck grips. First time with Kuryakn grips, the throttle stuck open, melted. Had to pull them off cut part out and crazy glue back on.
Interestinly they melted the glue on left side it spins freely, but has not come off. Actually a nice feature.
Day 4 of 3 week trip. Kuraykn sucks, sucks, sucks, all junk and crap.
Someday may go back to heated grips. These were inserts in the bar. Seemed like good idea. Cheap too.

I have 3 different versions of Gerbings, they have 3 different heat ranges with the coolest going to a little too hot and the warmest going to hands on fire. I only use the T5(?) guantlet gloves with one set as spare and one other set for my wife to use in the sidecar. Like she would get in the sidecar with the temp below 60.
I use them with a heated jacket liner which has the glove wiring circuit built in and keeps the hassle factor to pita. I need to switch from the portable controller to permanent mounted controllers.

Last year I bought a pair of Tourmaster Silk Glove Liners. Nice!
Very thin, fits snug on the hands, slips easy into your gloves.
Works very well. Got 'em on Amazon, about $15.
Warning: Keep them away from velcro. Velcro does not like silk!

The variation from one person to another in sensitivity to cold has always amazed me. Some can use light gloves down to 40 degrees or slightly colder while my hands ache at 50 degrees after a short ride. Gerbing heated gloves did the trick for me, however, be ready for the "chain" of what body part gets too cold NEXT. When I must use a wind-proof mask on my face (using a 3/4 helmet) that is the bottom of my cold riding limit and for me that is the mid 30s.

I think the op, from 2008 (!), said he wasn't looking at heated gloves. Love my First Gear heated gloves, keep my hands toasty warm into the 20's.
If you don't want to go heated gear, I have never found a single pair of "motorcycle" gloves that will keep my hands warm from the 30's down, especially if I'm riding for several hours.
If you don't want heated gear, my recommendation would be any Gore-Tex lined ski or snowmobile gloves. They will keep your hands much, much warmer than motorcycle gloves.

Sleds have heated grips and heated thumbs, plus fairings or hand guards. Your hands don't get cold until below zero. But the gloves may not be super thick. They also don't need much hand coordination. But it is a good place to start, plus hunting and outdoor stores.
