Are they waterproof? IOW, say I ordered a size medium and thew are tight. Can I submerse them in water and expect to get marginal stretch should they be too tight?
I'd go to your local dealer and try them on.The Harley gloves are made by Gerbing.If that's not possible The Gerbing website tells you how to measure.I can fit into a large glove,tight fit so have the xl.You'll get the basic harness, fused pigtail,but the controller is a must about 69.00 for the single controller which I use for the gloves and jacket liner.They get way too hot without any adjustment,even here in Wyoming.I'd go directly through a dealer or online so you make sure you get the lifetime warranty.I've never had any problems,the wire's have been known to break and Gerbing's supposed to have very good customer relations and back up their product.The jacket liner works great also,bet you'll want it somewhere down the line.I pack mine all year long and have used them in every month except July and August here in the Rockies.Heated gears nice because it takes up very little room in my Tour pak and I'm prepared for any weather.

I can guess a decent pair are worth the coin but what are the best, what can one expect to pay and most importantly, just how do they work, meaning how do they hook to a power source? I will ride in anything above 30 degrees but my fingers are the first to go and I have to pull over, set my gloves at the engine to warm them and rub fingers across the heads.
If you don't have a heated jacket get that first. Your body reacts to getting cold by cutting off the blood to your extremities and increasing blood flow to your vital organs. Which is why your hands get really cold first.
A heated jacket will keep your core very warm, and in turn, your body will increase the flow of warm blood to your hands, keeping them much warmer. You might find you're fine with just a good pair of winter gloves, like HD's FXRGs.
Look at the Tourmaster Synergy line. I bought a jacket liner AND gloves, with individual thermostats and all wiring for under $300 from Motorcycle Superstore.com. Free shipping and No tax sweetened the deal. The gear is top shelf and I am very happy with it.
10 minute hook up to the battery, hop on the bike and plug it in. If you buy the jacket liner it has wiring in the sleeves for a pair of gloves. Waterproof, machine washable and also guaranteed for life. I bought same size in gloves, one size larger in jacket beacuse they are cut tight. You want the jacket snug to transfer maximum heat.
I have been saving my coin so as to buy a set of gloves for the wife and I both,but a friend of mune came riding up monday with some handlebar mittens the other day. They may look funny but they only cost $25 and they keep the wind off of your hands and you don't have to wear as thick gloves. No more cold weather than we have here these things are perfect. I now have engine guard chaps and with the handlebar mittens I can pull all my winter gear off in less then 15 minutes.

I use these as well in winter. Together with heated grips I'm set for commuting.
