Any Suggestions For Waterproof Cold Weather Gloves.
Good For Temperatures In The Low Twenties. :snow1:

Thanks
 
Gloves

My TourMaster Elites are about 10 years old and I really like them. They have begun to let a little air in through the seams in the fingers but it isn't really bad even on the worst days. My hands stay dry except during total raging, driving downpours. For cold and rain I use a pair of lightweight lined gloves with rubber overgloves. This is an excellent combination. I have ridden in the low 30's but not the 20's so there may be something better but I would really recommend that you take a look at these gloves.
 
There is NOTHING better than heated gloves for riding at temps in the 20s. For a short trip heavy, insulated gloves may keep you warm, but eventually the cold will seep through. And they are bulky, heavy, and make it harder to work with the controls.

Gerbings are thinner and lighter, more comfortable, and will continue to make heat no matter how long you ride. Highly recommended. Widder gloves also work very well, but are pretty bulky themselves.

To be fair, though, there is a downside: If the wiring fails, you're left with a thin pair of gloves that aren't going to do anything to keep your hands warm. On a long winter tour, I'd take either a second pair of gerbings or a regular pair of insulated gloves as backup.
 
New to ST riding so haven't tried the heated glove route yet, but I do have the Tourmaster Polar-Tex gloves. Kinda bulky due to their thickness but they are warm. They kept my hands warm on my cruiser in cold weather for a decent amount of time. Oh, and they're waterproof too.
