Gloves for Cold Digits

I haven't had a proper pair of cold-weather motorcycle gloves -- instead relying on my ski gloves for seriously cold or wet days. They worked pretty well but had no abrasion protection and no gauntlet cuff. The mailman delivered my new Tourmaster Polar Tex gloves today, along with a pair of silk glove liners. Shipping on the Polar Tex would have been $7 but by adding the glove liners for $9.50 my order qualified for free shipping. My now $2.50 liners are so thin they fit inside of any of my other gloves. They feel great and are reputed to add noticeable warmth. If my dag nab work schedule will allow, I hope to try them out soon -- before the weather turns balmy. The top of Badger Mountain would be a good test.
