I thank everyone who contributed to this thread, hopefully the info may help someone else. For clarification the circulation issue is Raynaud's disease, I'm sure others here know what I'm talking about. After some hemming and hawing I went with the Castelli gloves, and Chicago's first really cold couple of days they performed better than expected. In high 20's my hands stayed toasty and I didn't even have to bother with a liner glove. For $50 the Castelli Vincente gets my thumbs up, thanks again!

I use pearl izumi barrier lobster gloves for days like today (20F).
Usually if it's like 30F+ I am ok with $2 stretch gloves.
Although last week got caught in the rain and my stretch gloves got soaked. Went to put them on the next morning and they were still nasty, so stopped at the corner 7-11 to get another pair. Ended up getting these thinsulate convertible mittens for $5 which were actually pretty damn good. The problem is they smell horrible so tossed them. Not even sure if they were real thinsulate, but they did have the logo on them. Maybe will pick up another pair of those again.
