The Cortech SCARAB gloves line also has a winter model. I have it and I'd say that it's good down to 40-F.

So Cal pussy. 40 is barely chilly

I wear my Adrenaline down to 40. The Scarab Winter only come out when it's really freaking cold.

I'm thinking of picking some of those up for the winter mornings here in FL myself. I've heard good things about them.

I am looking into winter gloves too. Yesterday morning I think my fingers were nearly frostbitten. Had to run them under cold to luke warm water to start feeling anything more than pressure in the tips again. Might try the Latex gloves idea, but also considereing the A* Vega Drystars.

I rode to work today and wore my new Olympia Goretex gloves. They worked great. I knew it was cold but it wasn't as bad as my cheapo gloves.

It was about 27* this morning when I left for work and I stayed about 50-55 mph for most of the 18 mile ride to work.
