I picked up a pair of the Fieldsheer Attack gloves this spring that I'm really happy with. Good quality, warm enough down to around the 40s, and under $50.

How is the sizing?  Run big, small?

Olympia "Cold throttle" gloves are the best I've seen. They're thin enough that they don't feel like ski gloves, waterproof (well, very water-resistant), have good armor, and cost about $60.

Pair them with some heated grips and you're good to go. But they seem to be better than most even without grips.

(they're in the "all-season" section)

Nice suggestion .... I wear & like the Accordion, and these (All Weather Cold Throttle) seem smart - thinner palm, more insulated back.
I've got some old Grandhoe ski gloves I use for coldest morning so far, warm plenty but not ideal for the moto.

I was surprised when trying gloves on - how tough getting a good fit is.

Got to try on the Olympia Cold Throttle in a small today.  They fit good, not big.  Wondering if I should buy a medium to be a little bigger and to possibly fit a glove liner or silk glove underneath when it really gets cold.  Think the Olympia may be a little more to the real cold days and not for the next couple of months.  Tried a pair of Fieldsheer's on too, but don't know which ones, liked how they fit also.  Will have to try to find more to try on.

Hmmm, than a medium might work...

I'm a 30 normally in jeans, figured the Medium (32) would be fine  Waist is huge. 

most (or some) moto pants are in "overpant size" which runs 2 inches bigger, IE a 32 is actually a 34
you should ask the vender if they are true size or overpant size before ordering in my experience

i just picked up the Scorpion XDR AWe pants in size medium.

im a 30 inch waist. thing fits perfect. just that the legs are bit to long. but you cant do anything about that unless u tailor it. What do you expect to ride in as "real cold". Anything below 30, almost requires heated gear.

edit: I swapped for a small. since the smallest setting on the pants were just right but not snug enough to wear without the liners.

Holy crap that's a ton of money!

it is. Defintely not worth it IMHO. There are much cheaper gloves out there that will give you the same performance. at the cost of $170 i expect that thing to be powered by a mini nuclear reactor and give off heat

Although the site had other pairs, saw one for $100.  Would love to see them in person first.

I have a pair of his uninsulated Deer Tours gloves (shorties), and wear them about 90% of the time.  

They are cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold.  I also have given up on my rain gloves, in favor of the deer sports.  They get wet, but not cold and clammy.They dry up well, and remain soft.  

The seams are on the outside making the glove smooth and comfy on the inside.  The seam also makes a great visor squegy in the rain.  

Definately worth the investment IMO.  If I rode when it was colder, I would definately pony up for the PCI insulated gloves.  YMMV

Lee is at most of the IMS Moto shows and racing events in the US.  

i was looking for claw/index mittens, but settled for a pair of fieldsheer eskimo gloves...
i can't speak towards how well it keeps the cold out yet (seems quite warm), but they are really nice quality.  pre-formed grip, soft leather, built in rain covers, visor wipe.

a little pricier than the attack gloves, but on clearance from motorcycle closeouts for $60.

I just ordered a pair of Eskimos. It's been pretty chilly here, so I'll post a review after they get here.

One thing you can do is get a pair of silk liner gloves for next to nothing and they will help keep your hands warmer whatever outer gloves you get.

Even though they are very thin.

I just bought a pair of Firstgear TPG Glacier gloves at my local Cycle Gear.  They were on the bargain shelf at 60% off...paid less than $40...fortunately in my size!  Very nice glove!

++ on the silk liners!  My other gloves are perforated leather, but if I had a solid leather glove, I would have gone with a liner.

New cool weather jacket is a Fieldsheer Aqua Tour and a pair of  Xelement weather proof over-pants from Leatherup.  Feets covered by Tourmaster Solution.  Need a decent neck cover balaclava thing.
