I've only ridden down to 25*F this year, but after trying thick gloves, I gave up and now am trying layers. I have a pair of very densely knit woolen cycling gloves, good to 40*F or so; between 40 and 30*F I have a pair of mid weight Sugois; and below that I've tried the Sugois inside of a pair of cheap Polartec gloves, oversized. (Come to think of it, I also have a pair of leather/heavy canvas mitten shells.)
I have Medium hands but I always buy Large, both so that I can get the wools in the Sugois and the Sugois into the Polartecs or shells; but mostly because it leaves a bit of air at the end of the fingers, which makes a large difference, IME. I'm confident that these 2 or 3 layers will see me safely down to my ultimate limit of the upper or mid teens. Deacon: I've owned 2 pr of boiled wool and nylon or leather sheath mittens. The last pair was from Outdoor Research, and they were so warm that at least in the positive 20s F, I'd always end up removing the shells after 5-7 miles. OTOH, I had such a pair on that -20F (the high for the day) skiing day long ago, and my hands were the only part of me that was cold, until a friend lent me her down filled mittens. I had trouble with the Outdoor Research shells on the bike -- slippery and hard to reach the controls; this was the reason I sold them.
