Heated grips or muffs or both.muffs are less faff and keep the backs of your hands warm

Muffs deffo

Spend some cash and get some Gerbing Heated gloves. You wont regret it. These will warm the backs of your hands and your fingers. Get some heated grips to finish the job and have warm palms as well.

Seriously, heated gloves are the way to go if you are commuting through winter.

Never used muffs so cant comment.....

+1 for Muffs. They don't look great but mean you can keep the same set of gloves all year round (thumbs)

Another alternative is heated gloves or if your going the muffs route they do make some with a clear section to view the controls.

I commute all through the winter and I can tell you there are a couple of items that once I started using I could not believe I went so long without them, real game changers.....

1. muffs and heated grips
2. Heated jacket
3. Heated inner soles.

The above makes ridding into work at 5am in the middle of winter just another ride. Forget gloves, none of them will keep you warm (heated ones aside). Heated jacket was a revelation as we're the muffs- why oh why did it take me so long to use them ..... oh yeah I rode sports bikes before !

No glove will stop you getting cold.

Essential to keep the wind off them altogether as its the wind chill factor that will do the damage.

Muffs will do the job. So too will simple rain over gloves, all they need to do is keep the wind off your hands and then the gloves will work nicely for you

The wind is the real killer, cold air blowing over you is the same process as is used for freeze drying food!.

My K doesn't have heated grips and I don't have heated gloves and the rain over gloves and really good gloves keep me warm even for straight 3 hour runs in below zero. I have a set of Oxford muffs. Still sitting in the box on the shelf and I have never come home feeling I must fit them. But aeons ago in the seventies muffs too kept me warm in all conditions.

Even hand guards will help a lot.

I use muffs and heated grips.

As bonus the muffs will keep the heaviest of rain off - I usually put them on in Oct and leave them till May.

I also think they look great and would leave them on all year round but they're too hot

If you're feeling a bit flushed then heated muffs (seriously) are the one true path to follow.
