I was having trouble finding a decent glove for below 35F too. Tried all the name brand stuff as well as layers. Several months ago on a whim I grabbed a pair of $12 gloves I saw while standing in line at Harbor Freight - BINGO BABY.

They are a Chinese knock off of the Gore Ski Gloves someone posted a pic of. Very toasty - a tad sweaty even once it gets close to 40F. Nice long cuff, decent stitching, water resistant and wind proof/resistant back (which was my big complaint with name brand stuff like the Pearl lobster mits - the wind just went thru them). Had them on 2 or 3 rides over 2 hours in near and below freezing with no complaints at all.

As with most cheap Chinese things, there is a drawback - the large were a tad small and tight, the X-large have about .25" extra length in the finger tips. Overall a good $12 find.
