Just do it and buy Gerbing or another make with a lifetime warranty. I waited 5 years and every time I plug my Gerbings in I wonder why I stuck it out being macho.  |

I have a pair of deerskin gauntlet gloves with thinsulate that I got at a rally for $29. Very nice gloves for the price. A google search will probably bring up similar if not the same gloves.

I use a pair of gloves designed for snowmobile. Warm and way less expensive than motorcycle specific  |

I have Cortech Scarabs. They kept me very warm down into the low 40's and they don't affect feel and mobility too much.  |

Word to the wise, Thinsulate is a good light insulator in jackets and pants, but you'll find Primaloft and Thermolite MUCH better and warmer in Winter gloves. Most insulated MC gloves are Thinsulate, but you can find the others, and they are better.
And, if you get a set of skinny silk glove liners (Cabelas) to fit inside your heavy gloves, it adds about 50 percent more warmth.

I ride into the mid 20's, so I am interested what others are using. I finally bought a Tour Master electric liner last year, and that's the cat's meow. |

Granted I haven't tested them that low but I was impressed with the fact that for unheated gloves they kept my hands pretty warm but didn't affect feel. That's one thing that I've run into before; winter gloves that were very warm but made everything numb feeling. I also have polypropylene liners that would fit underneath and provide even more warmth. I'm confident that in the 30's they'd still be warm enough. I also bought a heated liner this year and expect to test it out soon. |

we left last year for the bmw gales of november rally in tawas, mi.
temp was 22` the morning we left. no ice or snow, just cold.
gerbing liner, socks and gloves, balaclava under my full face helmet and i was nice and toasty.
electrics for me is the way to go.
i attached the gerbing plug directly to my battery,so i just plug in and i'm ready to go.
