I have a problem when it comes to winter gloves...some are either too skimpy and are not warm enough, or, others are TOO warm and my hands sweat too quickly and the gloves get freezing cold bc they are soaked.

Anyone have any suggestions on a good warm glove?

Hotfingers are good abnd waterproof.
Or wear wool mittens (not gloves) . . 0r pair of wool gloves with leather over it.

I haven't tried this on a bike.. but when outside in cold weather I always use thin leather gloves. They keep my hands insulated enough, and are waterproof. To me they never get too warm/too cold in the winter. I'd imagine that they would be good for cycling... give it a try!

Toilet paper. Apply until desired thickness is achieved. Serves dual purpose.

Until it gets really cold, try using your regular summer gloves with polypropylene liners. Sounds silly, but it works for me in temperatures down to the low 40's. I have a pair of Excel winter gloves that work well when it gets colder.

I have a pair of leather gloves with fleece insulation... the most important part is keeping the wind out, which leather does quite well. They weren't purchased at a sports or bike store, but from a menswear store in the same section as the leather dress shoes and neckties. Odd.

Descente makes a new glove called the "Wombat". It looks like a regular glove. There is a flap over the back of where your hand is, and under that is a cover. YOu can pull that out and put it over your fingers so that it can be either a glove or a mitten and the flap is a windbreak. They work great.

Photo I find lobster gloves and mittens too nasty for shifting. These leave you with good finger dexterity and still give you the cover to block wind and cold air on your fingers.

Nike's winter cycling gloves are nice. Not bulky, windproof, and do a pretty good job unless the mecury drops really low.

Try a base glove as well. Helps keep your hands drier. I do that with my regular Pearl non-amfib gloves and it serves me really well down into the 30's. Below that I use lobster claws with said base glove and I don't hesitate to remove them for short periods of time if need be. That said, I picked up some amfib non-lobster gloves on sale last year and will try them out when it gets cold in the next month or so.

Several weeks back I was at REI to get some cold weather biking gloves and grabbed some Pearl Izumis that looked good. On my way to the register I passed by the ski gloves and saw some Columbia fleece looking gloves that looked similar to the PE's I was holding. I stopped and read the tag on it and it was a fleece material with a wicking interior and was also windproof. It was also half the price of the PE's so I went ahead and got them instead. I've only had two rides with these gloves where the weather was under 40* but they worked great and didn't leave my hands sweaty.

I have a pair of Trek Anatomy gloves. They are good in the 30s.

Just got a pair of Six Six One Storm Watch gloves from SierraTradingPost.com for 20 bucks. Not too bulky, fleece lining & seem very durable. I'm betting they'll be good down to about 30degrees. Below that, I'll use bulkier Ma***** ski gloves.

I have a pair of Hind mittens that are just a windbreak and a pair of lightweight glove liners that I use with my regular cycling gloves. I only put one or the other on with my gloves at about freezing, and then go with both in the low 20s F. My fingers get cold for about the first 10 minutes and then warm up as my body starts pumping out the heat.

PI Amfibs treated me very well last Winter.
