I have a pair of the Olympia 4370 Cold Throttle gloves. Paid ~$60. They're warm, waterproof, have armor, and aren't bulky at all.

Got a pair of the GT H2O, and the Farenheit H2O.  Only complaint is no wiper on either glove. Check out http://www.revzilla.com for Rev'it stuff.  Quick shipping and great customer service when I needed to exchange for a diff size.   Careful w/ their closeouts though; no returns on those.

I normally wear a med in a joe rocket glove.  the GT H2O ended up needing an XL.  The Farenheit is an XL and I could probably do w/ a L.  Their true winter gloves seem to run a bit bigger than their rain gloves.

I wear the DAINESE "Jerico" Gore-Tex Gloves . Not too bulky or stiff. Never sweaty because the Goretex breathes.
Very good protection.

I have a pair of Dainese D-Dry gloves with short cuff that are far too bulky to grip the bars with. So, I use them as general winter gloves instead. No hard feelings, don't ride in the cold anyway.

**reporting back**

the gloves work amazingly well
the weather report says it was about 45 degrees the whole way in to work (35 miles), so i took that as an opportunity to ride in. i wore them under my normal semi-perforated leather gloves (my every-day gloves), and my hands were fine the whole way - though that could be cause they are so constricting they couldn't feel anything to begin with.

i'm going to cycle-gear and getting a larger pair soon.

Thanks for the update.  [thumbsup]

I ended up settling on a pair of Revit Tempest gloves. My hands got cold enough to hurt riding around the SLO area at 7:20am this last weekend but that's better than my old gloves. I'm not sure the exact temperature but it was cold enough that the wind chill alone caused my neck to sting but I could still feel my fingers even though they were cold enough to hurt but not sting.  [thumbsup] They are good for up to the 70s before my hands started sweating.

I did notice that the thumb is a bit short (or maybe I have long thumbs) because my thumb touches the tip but I've got about 3/8" of loose glove on all the other fingers which makes fine movement like taking off my helmet with the gloves still on difficult.

Why didn't you get heated gloves? For about the same money I got a pair of Firstgear;

They're not too bulky, good down to about 40 degrees without turning on, waterproof. I was riding today, 27 degrees, warm and comfy. Get the heat troller and adjust to your liking.

I mean, really! There is no reason to be even a little uncomfortable.
That being said, the Revit Tempests look awesome and are probably great all-around gloves. Not money wasted, just get some heated gear too if you're that cold!

I'm only 24! I'm not OLD enough for heated gear yet!   ;D I refuse to get heated gear until I am "old."  [cheeky]

If you're less comfy the old codgers will just ride further than you. Think of your image!
