Cold Fingers on Ride - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

Just got back from a ride this morning. It was 29 degrees, I had my Pearl Izumi
winter gloves on, and they are not cutting it! Couldn't feel my fingers by the
end of the ride, had to stick them in my armpits to warm them up when I got in.
What are some opinions as to the warmest gloves on the market today? Thanks,
Mark

Have you tried the Lobster Mittens?

...and perhaps a glove liner.

Just got some Pearl Izumi lobster claws last week via a Christmas
gift certificate. They seem pretty good, but hasn't really been
cold enough for a solid test of their performance compared to what
I was using before.

I think your hands will be the warmest possible with mittens instead
of gloves. Unfortunately, the LBS only had the lobster claws instead
of mittens, so that's what I'm now using.
