Gloves for the Cold!
I have FINALLY found a reasonable set of gloves that aren't expensive, electric, overly bulky, or hard to find that actually seem to work in the cold. They are Mech Pro protective gloves, and resemble Mechanix gloves. Very similar in style actually, but they contain 70 grams of that Thinsulate insulation. I have a 25 mile commute each way to work, and this morning it was 34 degrees when I left. I chose today as my bi weekly winter ride. Lo and behold this morning it was drizzling, and COLD (to me), but I was committed. These gloves, soaking wet, 70 mph, for 25ish miles, kept my hands warm. I know several people that have tried MANY different options to try and keep their hands warm, with no success, but these seem to work wonders.

Those are the newer version of the ones I have. Look for the 70+ grams of insulation.

It wasn't too bad riding to work this morning in Portsmouth.
I finally broke down and spent way more than I wanted to on some waterproof Harley gloves with gore-tex but I'll be damned, my hands are actually staying warm now.
It was really pretty nice riding home at 8pm tonight. If I didn't have to work tomorrow I probably would have stayed out to ride a while.

Hey 09NightsterVB,
I wanted to see how those gloves were holding up for you man? I tried going around here in austin to local sears and they don't have them so im about to order them online. In your previous post you said they worked wonders and i just wanted to see how they are now.
Thanks for info

I've tried, I almost damn nearly had to get my hands amputated because it felt like my hands were dead. I couldn't even do the simplest tasks like unbutton my helmet or turn the key off on my bike.
I just bought some of these gloves that the OP said off amazon and will be getting them in Wednesday. I will come back on here and write my review also.

Rev'it makes some really, really great riding gear. The downside is that they are made in china, which I detest. But I bet the harley gloves are too. I am curious as to the price because I wonder how much of that price is for the harley logo, and could have been better spent on a better glove without the logo. Just curious.
and to the poster who wondered about gloves being expensive...they are, for sure.
but WORTH EVERY PENNY, IMO.
