Default My winter Gloves suck, need help

Looking to replace my winter gloves with something a bit warmer, I don't want to mess with cords, any suggestions on a nice conventional glove would be greatly appreciated.

Spend the money on heated grips, use your current gloves. No matter how good the glove, it just slows down how fast you lose heat. You need something that adds heat, especially for your extremities.

I think ski gloves are a way to go. I bought an inexpensive pair from Costco, about as warm as you can get without heat, I'd think.

I use rechargeable ski gloves and love them. They last for hours, never managed to run them out of juice between charges and no wires to deal with.

I also have heated grips on the new bike. Very nice to have too.

Tourmaster "Polartec" gloves are pretty damn warm and reasonably priced. They are comfortable down to around high 30's or low 40's in my experinece. I've used them for about 6 years now and they're my go-to winter gloves.

Default Heated gloves...

Got a pair of heated gloves at Cabelas... Four heat settings to chose from... On the first setting they last 8 hours between charges. On the fourth setting they last two hours. They are wonderful....

You can try out some Hestra gloves. Probably one of the best gloves for winter sports but expensive. Ski patrol uses these gloves frequently.

Heated grips are the way to go. Hit the switch and all is good!
It's a one time expense, no worry of forgetting or having to recharge your heated grips.
