They're pretty expensive, but then there's this to consider:

 

Those look like the same glove as the T-5 with a battery option, I got some T5's not long ago, very nice glove with a fleece lining, not thin but not as thick as the held Freezer gloves I bought last year - which incidentally cost just $30 less than the T-5 gloves and my hands still got cold after a while.

Those will be thinner as are a couple of the HD branded gloves but rather than use your battery tender pigtail with an adapter - install the Gerbing pigtail and use their adapter to plug in your battery tender as the Gerbing pigtail is heavier.

 

I have an old pair of Harley gauntlets. Not super warm on their own, but in a zippered pocket on the wrist they have a wind proof mitten that slides over - very thin. The combo of insulation and wind breaking is great.

Also - another tip that I wouldn't believe unless it worked for me is - layer to keep your core warm.
The blood then does not go to your core to keep your organs warm and then can go to you extremities to keep them warm.

I once layered to the extreme to see what would happen, and in January in Pennsylvania, my hands were about steaming from the amount of warming blood that was in them...

It works - try it. Layer your torso to keep your hands and feet warm.
Weird but true.

 

Under armoir gloves work good and they are pretty low profile thickness wise.

 

I just bought a pair of Bilt winter gloves , windproof, waterproof from Cyclegear for $19... feels pretty good...

 

I bought these gloves from the local harley dealer. They are pretty thin but very warm. I have only worn them a couple times and always keep my hands warm. I wore them on a morning ride that was 36* when we left, my hands were nice and warm.

 

They don't exist. Unless your bike has a fairing of some type to protect your hands from the wind, you will NOT find a pair of gloves that will keep your hands from getting cold in near freezing temperatures unless they are heated - period.

You can run out and by the biggest, thickest, bulkiest gloves you can find. You can pay a million dollars for the "best" cold weather gloves on the market. But, if you don't have a fairing to protect your hands OR your gloves are heated, you're hands will get cold.

 

Heated is the best way... i have some very good gloves but the Gerbings are the bomb...If you don't want electric look at snow mobile gloves like from Arctiva...

 

If you total all the money you will spend trying to find warm gloves you will have payed for the gerbing gloves and probably the jacket liner too.

 

At least I did not have to say it this time. But there is this to consider - Your fellow riders will mock you and call you a *****, but the truth is you will be a warm ***** and they are secretly jealous!
