(( my two cents )) $14 All Purpose Mechanic's gloves (at any autoparts store) are vastly superior in comfort, quaility and durability.. than any 'biker' gloves purchase from bike site/store

I have two sets of deerskin ropers I got from a local leather store, one unlined, one thinsulate lined for the cold. They're awesome.

I hear ya Mike... and I use such gloves for my off road riding. But for the road I like having a gauntlet style glove for better protection against the weather and as John mentioned, deerskin gloves rule!! But the red... red oh, red. Love that red! 
Live to love, love to live.

I love those red gloves, look expensive, do they match your boots?  Just kiddin, they are nice.

Those gloves are bad a$$ Keith. I wear black fox racing dirtpaws for nice weather riding. These were what I was wearing when I went down and my hands didn't have a scratch, wish I could say the same for the gloves.

I have been looking for a good warm pair of gloves. When I ride in the 30 degree weather the only part that gets cold is my fingers. any suggestions aside from Keith's red gloves that clash with my bike.

I probably won't need them until November, but on a recent trip, I stopped at a new Triumph dealer to check them out, and it was cold. I picked up a pair of Cortech Scarab Winter Motorcycle Gloves, 97$ I think. I am very happy w/ them. They can be had cheaper online, but I am always nervous about sizing. http://www.bikebandit.com/cortech-scarab-winter-motorcycle-gloves

Aerostich elk skin ropers. I'll bet they're the same as John's but he can just go to local store to find his.
