My hands get super cold, especially my thumb, when I where my Thor gloves. I would suggest wearing another pair of thin gloves under your regular gloves and maybe getting some small handwarmers to put in there.

look around for thermal gloves, and i buy some of those hand warmers, and toe warmers and put them inside my gloves, but if they don't fit just put them on the handlebar grips, the only bad thing if you put them in your gloves, they get extremely hot, 116° to 165° but they do the job for me when i ride in -3 temps, i wear a HJC Cs-x2 helmet with Scott fog resistant goggles, my helmet has the read yellow black grey combo, and the belt on my scotts is Red, to match some what, and my honda is green, the goggles really help in the cold because your eyes water, but i came up with the hand warmer thing before the other person, his was just a shorter post and got it up there faster. but w/e i ain't the jealous type, i'm a hater not a lover, or w/e, ha ha

this is what I wear when I go out riding....jeans, my mx style helmet, sunglasses (if i have them handy) maybe a ski mask, a hoody, and my everyday boots and thor gloves....I dont get cold, but then again I am also the kind of person that would go and tailgate in the middle of december and play football with just my jeans and a t-shirt on...but that is just me

Thumb warmers and heated grips are very effective and relatively inexpensive to buy. They install with ease and can make a huge difference in comfort on cold days. If you do not want to install the electric thumb warmer and grips you may want to try those slip on handlebar muffs that shield your hands from the elements. As for gloves I prefer a split mitt that has your fingers grouped in two pairs and your thumb separate. It is a good compromise between the warmth of a glove and the manoeuvrability of a glove. For my body I use Jon-E handwarmers to keep warm.
