LL Bean Ragg Wool Gloves Note: They are thick though, so, if you were planning to do any activity requiring fine finger work, these would not be good. But for shoveling, walking, just being outside in cold weather, it's hard to beat them. Not as warm as my Alpaca mittens. Those are for the sub-zero/single digit stuff, but anything in the teens and the gloves come on. Generally speaking about keeping fingers warm in really cold weather, the best imo is a 2 layer approach: A pair of lightweight merino wool gloves under a pair of natural wool mittens, like lamb or alpaca. And if you have to forego one, going with mittens only will be the warmest.

OR (Outdoor Research) has a lot of gloves and mittens with superb design. I got the Highcamp model to replace some ancient finally worn out Patagonia Gauntlet model that my wife and I think are the best golves ever.
The Highcamp are really nice via the way the liner glove and leash work together along with both inner and outer golves working with touch screens. These are not bargain but not ridiculous in price. They've become my winter go to bike glove in addition to skiing and general cold outside use. After my wife and I got a pair we felt foolish for the period we were cheapskates between those old Patagonia gloves and these. Lesser and discount stuff was just no way in the same league.

I only have experience with gloves that either haven’t kept my hands very warm, or gloves that are good, but pricey. Or effective (and cheap) mittens. Also, when I was riding motorcycles, I mashed my hands a couple of times as I moved through tight spaces, and got some nasty road rash when I took some spills. Thought I might save you some discomfort. Oh, well. Good luck with your search. |

For less than $250 you can get heated gloves. There are a couple of companies that make them for motorcyclists. I don't have the gloves, but I have a heated vest (and love it) and you can get heated riding pants as well. There are even battery operated types of heated clothing. Just Google heated clothing, heated gloves, etc. In a slingshot you should be able to plug into a 12 volt outlet if you don't like the battery operated style.

Cotten,
Your thread inpired me to look again. They don't make the kind of mitten I want anymore but you might find a good winter riding glove here https://shop.olympiagloves.com/colle...orcycle-gloves

I ride a motorcycle almost year round (as long as there's no snow or ice). I have a pair of Gerbings electric gloves and a matching jacket. It plugs into your bike's electrical system. I've been toasty warm down to zero degrees F. Even in the 30's the wind chill you get from the bike's speed can cause serious frostbite pretty quickly. A good pair of gloves and other appropriate clothing is a cheap investment in keeping your fingers.

From a lifetime of skiing, if this has to be gloves, then they need to be Leather. Some of the Gortex gloves are good but you need to know the brand to know the level of quality in the build. Look for water proof on the tags, this indicates that there is a membrane inside that will also keep out water. Good gloves have a cuff with a draw string that goes over your coat. Unfortunately, these will have a premium price.
To lower the price you can get a less expensive set of gloves (still water proof with a sinching cuff) and you will see some that have a little zipper and pouch on the back of the hand. This pouch holds the little chemical hand warmer packs to help you keep your fingers toasty. These little packs can also be inserted into any glove, the pouch is just a little more elegant. Go to a good ski/snowboarding store to see what they have. A place that sells snowmobiles is another. Usually the snowboarding gloves are more waterproof due to the fact you have your hands in the snow more then skiers. I also endorse not skimping on the quality of your gloves, never a bad investment.

I spent all day yesterday splitting wood in sub 20 F temperatures wearing my Kinco gloves (retails less than $30) and felt great.
