The Thor windchills work very well until it gets super cold, then I switch to good old ski gloves.

Try Cold Wave. Or check out the Dennis Kirk website under the snowmobile section. You want something not too thick but has a TOTALLY wind proof back so the backs of your fingers don't freeze. Sled gloves are designed to keep your hands warm at 70-80 MPH while the handlebar heaters keep you palms warm. On a quad they should be ok without the heaters

I use snowmobile gloves or mittens, depending on how cold it is... but my hands have never gotten cold, even with lighter riding gloves on... mostly because I usually ride pretty hard, & I have the Moose hand gaurds installed... they matched my quads plastic perfectly, were easy to install, keep my hands shielded during the winter, & protect my hands from those darn trail encrouching raspberry bushes, during the summer...

I just don't like the looks of the handle bar boots, for your hands...

Get a set of hand guards to break the wind, then the Thor Windchills work great even in very low temps. I also have a hand warmer that goes around my waist to warm them up when they do get cold.

I tried a bunch of different ATV/Moto gloves for clod weather and they never really cut it. I ended up getting a pair of winter snowmobile gloves from Cabelas. They are for "motorsports" and they WORK! They have the high cuff, leather palm and precurved. i would HIGHLY recommend them. Even at below 0 temps last year my hands were warm (couldn't feel my feet or face but man my hands were nice and warm....)
