I got a set from them on TC's recommendation a year or so ago.  Had finally worn out an old pair of glove I just loved.  Thin deer skin that were sewn up for me at a Renaissance Fair a long time ago.  No bunching. Perfect length gauntlets.  Brass buttons on the gauntlets.  Just loved them.

After lots of year and lots of weather they finally gave out though.  The Fox Creek gloves are the nicest commercial product I found.  Perhaps not as perfect as my old ones.  But pretty darned good.

Fox Creek are nice gloves. Another alternative is to get some from hd-dude! I got a pair and love them. I think they were about $25-$30. Here is Jims Website where I got the gloves. They are thinsulated too! http://www.ljsgroup.net/catalog3.0.html

Here is a picture of them

I'm gonna take a close look at these. Great idea! HD Men's Battery Operated Heated Gloves. Make them in Women's too. Can't let Binx get cold! Prolly made by Gerbing, but Gerbing doesn't show Leather ones on their site, only Goretex. ;)

with the demise of Widder later this year, I am tossing my hat into the Exo2 line - they have the best reviews and are the only ones that can be powered by an external source...

They are just $$

Their gloves are $200 +

I already have the G3's, but they're the hard-wired gloves, and I don't use them. Tried once, but them wires are a real PIA. I threw em back in the bag and never used em. The battery operated ones seem like a good alternative to hard-wiring myself to the bike! Wonder how well they work though. ;)

Simple but PIA! Wire the pigtail to the battery is easy. But running the wires to the T'stat, then thru your sleeves and then plug the whole mess into the pigtail! Ugh! PIA!!! :nixweiss: :nixweiss: :nixweiss:

I have these and love them.  I have heated grips though and don't need a ton of warmth.  The $39 is less than 1/2 of a comparable HD glove.  They are warm to 50 degrees without heated grips.  Into the low 40s with them (with a batwing fairing)  :oops:  The thinsulate lining is very warm.  Ride out here and try them on.  I wear XL.

I've got a pair of the PCI gloves.  Like all other Fox Creek stuff, they are well made and function as advertised.  You just can't beat the deerskin for gloves, summer or winter.  They would be fine at temps down to 40 without heated grips, I think.  Much below that and you need some heat, or ski gloves.

40?  Ahhh, maybe.  Whatever temps you're using them in they're thin enough that the benefit of the heated grips is readily transmitted to the hands though.

Your're not looking at the two toned one's are you?  The regulars are just plain, black gauntlet gloves.  They do have an extra piece of leather over the knuckles though.  Lee Parks actually designed the gloves, if I'm not mistaken.  I like 'em cause they're not so bulky, and you can still do a few things with them on.  The way the fingers are sewn make a huge difference, IMO.  I wear the summer version ALL the time in warm weather.  Deertours I think they're called.  They're not cheap, but most things worth a chit aren't.

I thought maybe you like Michael Jackson gloves or something, being from New Yawk and all....thought Broadway might have gotten into you somehow... ;)
