I like to ride with a very thin non-insulated glove for the best grip even on the coldest days because i feel the thin glove let's the heat come through on the heated grips and the warmth is not compromised from a cumbersome glove. There's been times when the heavy glove just doesn't allow for the best grip on the bars. I have been using an Arctiva super thin shell swede glove for many years, my only gripe is they soak up water. I'm thinking Klim gore-tex inversion or Fly title gloves. Would love to here some real world feedback on this type glove
So i will add to a short list of gloves I'd like to try. Feedback appreciated

Klim gauntlets with FXR attack insulated gloves work for me on the really cold days. Single digits.
Rest of time I just wear the FXR Attack insulated gloves without the gauntlets on the handlebars. Much nicer than the big bulky gloves.
Have not tried many of the others you have listed.

Steve, I wear the Klim Spool glove but, like Tim I use the Klim gauntlets. I don't use the heated grips often only when it gets really cold. My set up consist of 1.0 liners under the spool glove. This is what I like about the spool glove in general, on the fingers is a silicone grip with rest of the fingers, palm and thumb a soft leather. That silicone strip has great grip on the handlebar grips, and it's placed in the perfect spot. The back side is GoreTex with knuckle protection. I think this glove was designed more for off-trail riding than a trail glove, but it works really well for me.
Thanks guys, How do these gloves hold up on the snowy days when most gloves would get soaked? I'll be using Rox Handgaurds for the first time this season.

My moto is, if there not made with GoreTex keep shopping. They will not get soaked not even close.
