| I've tried ebay, but the cheapest is the grip wrap around for $50, my finger tips especially the thumb gets painfully cold at high speeds. |

| Just a thought...Have you tried looking at snowmobile gloves? There's a lot to choose from on ebay.

You would need waterproof/windproof gloves to put the heat glove liners in ... that is the route I am going._________________ Bill - Georgetown TX 07 Silver Wing ABS Clearview w/vent, Givi E96/TB19/E52 with Admore Lighting, Alaskan Leather, Wrist Rests, 3M Solas tape, K&N air, Hyperpro spring, Grip Puppies, Airhawk, Utopia backrest, Stebel, Apexcone HIDs, StingerZ LEDs (w/Backoff WigWag), Knight Rider Sequential LED, NGK Iridium, Power Commander III, Manic Salamander, Saeng mirrors, Garmin Zumo 660, Dark-Side Sumitomo Tire  |

| I have a pair of waterproof gloves with fleece liners that do a good job of keeping my hands which are very sensitive to cold comfortable riding in temps down to freezing. I don't often ride in temps below that due to the risk of ice. Been dumped on bikes twice on ice and don't want to repeat that. |

| My husband uses 'hippo grips'. He has poor circulation in his hands, and now he rides in cold weather with no problems. You can find a description at http://www.hippohands.com. You'll probably find them less expensively online.
