I have a pair of Gore-Tex Grandoe...can be found at some sporting good stores. Best gloves I have ridden with hands down. My hands have never been cold nor wet. They are not overly bulky either, which is a huge plus. They don't match my gear, but I find them too good to warrant finding something else.
I have tried a few snowboard gloves, Arctic Cat gloves, and Castle-X gloves. None of them came close to these as far as warmth and comfort. All I can say about the others is that I will never again own a pair of Castle-X gloves. My hands were always cold with them. Some people like them...but I sure don't.

ok, well this might help, put hand guards on your machine and then you can use a cheaper set of gloves and just turn the hand warmers on. Or what i did was last year when i shot my dear i kept the hide and brought it to a sewing place and they made me a nice pair of choppers out of it for 50 bucks.

Do you want trail riding gloves or agressive riding gloves?
Mechanix gloves are the cheapest and best that I can find for agressive boondocking. Just make sure to have another pair for getting unstuck and such so you don't get them to wet.

Yeah, for here i usually have a light pair of work gloves, similar to Mechanix gloves, i wear because its all ditches and what not here. Otherwise look in trash cans. My dad has a old pair of Indy gloves that he found in the trash somewhere, and we still use them. I wore em last year when my regular riding gloves were soaked, and they were really warm and a good pair of gloves. Plus you cant beat free.

I have read alot of good reviews on other sites about the Gore-Tex Pinnacle gloves to,looks like they are pretty similar to the ones you posted. I might try one or the other this yr so I have a good pair for backup.

They are a couple years old now, so I imagine they changed the style a little bit. I got mine at Scheels, incase you want to look at them later on in life.

I agree totally, usually I just wear a thin pair of fox dirtbike gloves. I don't even have handwarmers and 3/4 of the time I'm fine.
Owning a race sled is like having a totally hot girlfriend..... All of your friends want to see it, feel it and check it out..... They all want to know what it is like to ride it, but if they only knew how much time and money it takes to keep one up, they would call you a fool!

OMG my fingers would be frozen SOLID. I must be a serious sally because I've got huge handguards, warmers, and somewhat decent gloves and I still freeeeeeeeze. Have gone on a few night rides where I have to stop every few miles and warm my bare hands up on the heat exchanger.

Yeah I usually only wear a pair of mechanics gloves to. My handwarms on my sled get so hot they can burn you. When its gets real cold i have a heavy pair I got for x-mas a couple of years ago that probably only cost $15 the local Norman's store.
