Default Warmest Winter Riding Gloves

I'm not sure I want to go heated, so I'm looking for some feedback regarding winter riding gloves, either leather or textile. What are are fellow cold weather riders using?

I have the HD Windshielder gauntlet gloves. Work great and keep my hands warm.

I've been wearing US Navy standard issue thinsulate gloves,for the last 3 years and they have been really warm. Probaly not as warm as electric gloves, if you know someone in the military they can get you a pair.............

Funny, I have the Harley Windshielder gloves and don't like them that much. Too thick, no grip strips/pads and my hands get cold in 50 and under degree weather.
I'll follow this post to see what others think.

Try silk glove liners, they give you more warmth. I don't use them but here from others they work great.

I've got them, and I agree with what you said 100%. Too bulky, not warm enough. They probably last down to the low 40's for me, but on any long ride my hands will still get cold. I'm definitely buying some electric gloves before spring.

I picked up a pair of these. By far the best fitting winter gloves I have owned to date. I like the little wiper thingie on the left index finger. Three layers with Thinsulate and water proof to boot
