I used to always buy low cost gloves, but my hands would get cold. I bought some Klim gloves, and love them. No complaints at all.

Klim or motorfist work great! Got them both, never hurts to have good back up pair.

I bought a set of Klim gloves for sledding. I don't really like them that much. Yes they keep my hands dry and warm, but they are too bulky for me. I only use them to get to the mountains and then take them off and wear moto cross gloves, then wear the Klim for the ride home. I would like to buy a thinner type glove with less bulk for normal riding and ditch the moto cross gloves. Friend has a pair that are thinner but I can't remember what they are called.

Klim, Motorfist and HMK all make good gloves. For spring riding or for riding on warmer days I bought a pair of Oakley Winter Assault gloves - which are awesome gloves.

everyone makes them now a days,, I find the thin Klim's to loose for me,, love my HMK spring gloves,, I also have oakley mid glove,,

I only wear spring gloves my hands get too hot,, unless -18 then out come the heavier leather but I always have a heqavier pair in my bag for a bad ride out,,
Dakine and Oakley are great and easy to find at the big non sled shops.... for cheap too maybe $20-$30 if ya lookie for deals dont spend $60 for the name klim trust me

I just bought a new pair of Klims from Glen at Spindrift last week. They have an option built into them where the liner can be used in 2 ways. 1-less material on the palm of your hand and more on the backs or-2-more material on the palms and less on the backs. Pretty cool I thought and fairly comfortable too. $129 plus tax. I recommend them.

I use ice climbing gloves, they are thin, waterproof and breath. They are designed for flexibility and mobility and have a formed palm that does not bunch up. Most have goat skin palms and wear very well.

I have a pair of thin Klim and a pair of heavy Klim both are awesome. The thin I find are warm to almost -20 and I have zero wind protection.
