Winter riding gloves
Being from Texas, I am fortunate to be able to ride year round, just add an extra layer of clothing and a neck gaiter. The problem I have is gloves. My ex lost my HD gauntlet gloves that I had for years (I rode cruisers long before I switched to sportbikes). I have been riding with some winter gloves, but I don't feel like I have as good a grip as I would like.
Other than electric/heated gloves, what do you use/recommend?
I am not very concerned with water proof as I avoid riding in the rain.

i have a pair of HD FXRG with Gortex that do a good job to a point and still have fairly good dexterity. I've used them in 40-50 degree weather comfortably but I don't typically ride if it's 45 and below and no sun.

I've been using Joe Rocket Ballistic gloves for winter riding for years. Great feel, and warm too. Over the last few years, more and more protection has been built into them. bonus

I use Tourmaster Winter Elite gloves. I have ridden with temps in the 20's with these gloves without using the built in wind break and had no issues.

+ 1 on the Held Gloves.....
ryn0cer0s:
To add to Warbird's recommendation, I also have Held gloves (roadrace, full gauntlet) and have used those gloves in temps from the upper 30's to 100+ with great feel from the kangaroo hides. Also mine have endured as much as 4 hours of rain even though they are not intended for it (I know you avoid rain). Many good gloves from other people too, but I wanted to give more feedback on Held. If you are going to do colder than say 40 degrees regularly then get the cold weather version in whatever style you like best.
Good luck,
Leo
