I have these and love them. Thin and warm. I use them down to low 30's and don't ride below that due to frost and ice. More than that, I would add heated grips,

I've ran many winter gloves over the years and none have lasted like the Tourmaster Winter Elite. I've had this pair for 3 years, wear them every day, year round and they're holding up great. Also run Vstrom 1000 hand guards on my FJR to keep the rain and wind off my hands.

These look similar to what I had on this morning. Let's just say they won't be worn in cold weather ever again. Haha. It was about 32 degrees and I ride 10 miles to work on back roads. I have a very high pain tolerance and I was almost in tears by the time I got to work. Haha. Took 2 hrs before my fingers were warmed back up. Most miserable ride I've ever had.

Go to a web site for a company called R U Outside, They have a glove for 29.95 called the hyperglove. I purchased them for snowmobiling and they worked great in anything but the most extreme weather. Very thin and lite weight but you will be amazed at how well they wotk. Only negative is they don't work well when wet. This company specializes in extreme condition outdoor wear.
