I've had the best luck with True North Adventure gloves....although not as cold where I ride.

I love my TNA Storms. Bottom line is that any glove sucks if they get wet. IMO the best plan is to have 2 pairs of gloves that you like along with somewhere under the hood to stuff one pair when they get wet and soggy so they can dry out and wear the other pair of gloves. I've rode in temps well below zero with my TNA gloves and as long as they not wet, I'm not cold. I've never seen a pair of gloves that are worth a crap when they're wet, then they usually freeze after that.
Do they hold up pretty well? Do your hands ever get too hot?
Mine have been VERY durable, had Klim and RUOutside that fell apart, not a stitch loose or visible palm wear on the TNA's....2nd season on them too.
Nice! Maybe I'll give them a try. Thanks for the help!!!

Ive got both the TNA gaulent glove and Kilm Tog gloves and love them both. Trail riding here back in NY the TNA gloves can get cold if its below 20 or so and were clipping at a good speed for a while... But are great when riding out in WY. Lightweight and allow good finger movement, kinda like wearing a mechanix glove...
The Tog gloves are great in both riding areas. They are a bit bulkier than the TNA gloves but usually not an issue...

Klim powerXcross gloves, not bulky and waterproof.
X2. I love that glove. that is my main glove I wear, then I have a thin burton glove I really like as well as a real warm burton glove for an emergancy if it gets real wet and cold, but too thick to ride all day in.

I wear snap-on super cuff work gloves , bring two pair ,1 for the way up and 1 for the way home unless weather is nice than 1 set will do.
Good advice, and so true. I've found the Castle X line of gloves work really well for me. Also carry a pair of Cabelos Thermolite glove liners for the really cold days.

I ride everywhere from the plains of South Dakota(ditchbanging in WET snow), to the Black Hills(semi wet snow), Snowies, Big Horns, West Yellowstone, and hopefully more places next year. My hands have always been warm in my TNA gloves as long as they're dry. Which goes back to my original statement that every glove that I've seen sucks when they're wet.
My TNA gloves have held up great, no ripped seams, good grip, comfortable, and they fit my fingers right(many gloves don't seem to).

I use your basic farm supply store insulated White Ridge or White Stagg. Way cheap $14 a pair, put some sno seal on throughout the winter good to go- ALso carry a back up pair of basic gortex ski gloves ( for diggin out others)

I have had a hard time finding gloves that will keep my hands warm when it is below zero, last year I picked up a set of Klim gloves at Haydays and they are the best I have found so far. They seem to stay dry in all conditions and after 2 seasons of use durability has not been an issue for me.
On warm days, I use a pair of mechanic gloves, super fit, dry out fast on warm motor, or several sets of inexpensive( cheap) gloves, which you can throw away. On cold days I have a pair of Rema (gortex)gloves warm and dry, although expensive. I stay away from gloves that you pull the lining out to dry, have a pair or too, pain in the a-- to put lining back in. Don't ride much in the -30 crap so tend to use the mechanic gloves more with hand warmers going, Wet hands are definitely a pain, I'd suggest trying several pairs as everyone has different expectations. Also with thin gloves you can work o sled and not freeze hands as fast.
Work Gloves
I live in Breck too. I prefer to take a couple pair of "work gloves". Like the $12 ones you buy at BBC or whatever. IMO nothing beats a fresh pair other gloves either get to clammy inside (even "breathble" ones). I just like a fresh dry pair after lunch or whatever. And you don't have to worry about hogging up a $80 pair of gloves when your fooling around with the trailer or something greasy.

Thanks for the tips! Smittysnow we should try to hook up and ride next season if your still around.
