Best winter gloves?

These gloves are dark brown and black in color. They have a leather palm, leather thumb, and leather index finger. They have 40 grams of Thinsulate insulation. They have an extended fleece and stretch knit cuff to keep the cold air from going up your sleeves. They claim to be windproof (whatever that means).
They have a velcro closure tab across the back of the hand to snug up the fit if desirable. Personally I don't think that feature is of much benefit.
The gloves are comfortable and will stretch somewhat. They cost $21.99 at the pro shop where I golf. These gloves are considerably warmer than just the thin unlined leather gloves which I use often (even in warm weather sometimes), but they are not heavy and bulky like big thick gloves.
Give them a try. I've worn mine a couple times already and am very happy with them.

They go on the same as any other glove, just push ur hands in em'!!! Sorry, couldn't resist!!!
The power source, from your battery is pretty straight forward. Hooks up like your battery tender. You 'should' get a controller for temp. adjustment. That will plug into the power source from your battery. I have a liner and the plugs for the gloves come out the end of the jacket liner. ( I strongly recommend this, BTW). If you do not have the liner, an accessory 'Y' adapter (long wires running the length of you jacket) will have to be purchased.
Hope this helps a little,

For the guys that don't want to get "wired up", try to get some thin glove liners from Patagonia or Under Armor, they are made excellent and use some fabric that helps block out the cold and wind.
These seemed to help me for weather into the 30's.
I haven't tested them any colder though.
I'm still on the fence about the heated gloves.
I did get a Corbin heated Dual Tour on sale and my butt sure is toasty, it's almost like having the stock pipes back on.

I have a cheaper pair of heated gloves and they will not connect to my battery tender plug. I am sure a person could make some kind of adapter to go between the tender plug and the glove part but I already wired the connector on to the battery that came with the gloves so I will use that for now. The plug on the battery tender is smaller than the one for the gloves at least on the pair I got don't know about the Gerbings. Next pair of heated gloves I get will be Gerbings but these will do for now and it don't get that cold down here.
