I think the Klim Powerxross gloves are probably pretty similar to the OR Projects with the Gore grip liner and no insulation on the palm but insulation on the back of the hand.

The Klim Powercross gloves are a good glove. However, they do not last long I have had to warranty a couple of pairs. I have noticed the thumb will start to tear out along with fingers get thin then tear also. Klim has been good about replacing within reason.
I know this is a slightly different subject, but may be helpful with the glove situation.
A few years ago we were out riding on a pretty cold day. A buddy of mine ran into a creek and got one of his feet in the water so the boot and foot were pretty wet. BEFORE his foot had time to get cold, we took his wet sock off, put on a dry one, then put the dry foot and sock inside a plastic bread bag (non leaking - very important!) , and his foot did not get cold all day. Not the most "breathable" solution, but i guess since the water did not come in contact with his skin, the foot was able to stay warm and dry all day. After seeing how well this worked out, I have since carried dry socks and a few plastic bags with me.

This sounds like way more hassle than carrying a spare set of gloves.
Not hard carrying nitrile gloves costing a dime. Store them anywhere and if you loose them … oops there goes a dime.
Just poke a hole to relieve sweat …
Lot easier than stopping the sled take off wet gloves , get out a dry pair of dry gloves and stow the wet gloves somewhere making sure they get dry before they mold.
A dime pair of nitrile gloves when they rip throw them away.
Have you ever wore a wetsuit?

bought some of these on a whim for 10 bucks at a chevron like 3 years ago, they're now my everyday glove

Yeah but when you snap them on, you can wink at the guy parked next to you and creep him out. That's certainly worth something.
Come to California … there are some pretty strange things here
Like 23 feet of fresh powder for the month of February !!!
BTW … have you ever worn a wetsuit?

I use similar ones.... for filling up my diesel truck. LOL
Klim Powercross for me. I have a set of Mechanix gloves and a set of Fox moto gloves for spring rides.
Best gloves ever where a pair of Joe Rockets I got in the early 2000s. Perfect thickness on palm, insulation on top, pretty water proof (unless lots of digging) , and to top it off had a thumb squeegee. I forgot the model. I still have them but the pinkie has blown out and the palms have shrunk.
Have a pair of Klim wind proof gloves. They are fine but don't love them. Have serveral pairs of mechanics style gloves that I will wear

The KLIM Inversion is certainly their "Thinnest" glove and seems pretty well known here.
But they also offer a 2nd variant called the Inversion-Pro

Rather than a synthetic palm, its all leather, and the backs of the fingers are much more protected for tree/branch encounters.
Personally I wear the Powerxross if the temp is reasonable or the Fusion if the temps are colder.

The price is sure good on these Cabela's gloves ($59.99). Humm.... may have to give these a try.

I find them too sticky to the bars and too difficult to get on with wet or damp hands.
