I'm looking for some warm gloves for my wife. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks

I've found that gloves that aren't too thick actually work better for me. This way the grip warmers can do their job. The other thing is to have a second set for later in the day. My favorite glove is the motorfist, great for agressive riding. I also have a set of Klim Tog's, they are thicker beacause of a removable liner. I like the warmth for the ride back to the truck on really bad days, but I hate the fact that it the liners make it much harder to hang on to the bars for the agressive riding.

Best set up I have found for gloves is an unlined outer glove with a leather palm for grip and wool or fleece liners. When the liners get wet put some dry ones on and your good to go till they get wet. I take 3 or 4 sets of liners for a day.
This is all I ever wear, and my left hand warmer doesn't work and neither does my throttle part on the right side. Neither hand gets too cold, just goes numb at worst.
I have to agree with Polaris Dude and Ski. Both my wife and I wear a very light shell with a silk insert. Not sure we have ever used anything else. We simply modulate the warmers, if we even use them. We ride in and around the Colorado Rockies, usually in the teens or low 20's in the mountains, and don't have a warmth problem. Having said that though, we carry heavier gloves just incase we have to spend the night or have other issues to contend with.
Good luck and safe riding.

Another vote for medium to thin weight gloves for sure. Better feel for brakes, throttle, etc. and you'll feel the grip warmers. I put some hand guards on my wife's sled to help block the wind too. We always put some mittens in our packs for staying warm and dry when resting, digging, or for emergency use.

cabelas makes some good goretex gloves. these are great for the cold. i like to use a thinner or medium weight glove. but when it gets cold these work awesome.http://www.cabelas.com/product/Clot...=SBC;MMcat104797080;cat105547680;cat104002380
Good point that I forgot to mention. For the sub zero rides, I use the Skins hand guards. Great coverage and just velcro on and off. Makes them great for those rollovers also.

I have some heavy Polaris gauntlet gloves that I use on the cold days. Usually not all day, but if my hands get cold, they work quickly. They have the heavier insulation on the back where the wind hits and lighter in the palm for added dexterity. I'm happy with them, but they are too big for warmer and technical riding.

And you think this is good advice for a guy looking for warm gloves for his wife? Hahaha...very nice of you!
Klim togowotee. Ride with the liner out and put it in for the ride back. Carry a set of Ice Armor's with too. They are great & waterproof-made for ice fishing. Wear them back here in MN trailriding in subzero.
