I need a glove to ride a motorcycle at 65 mph in 25 to 35 degree weather without my fingertips getting cold.Would these be a good choice? If not what do you have that would be.

This would be a terrible choice. You need to ask yourself: How important are my hands? This is not about staying warm, although you can get that. It's about your gloved hands hitting the pavement at 65MPH. These gloves will shred to pieces, and then your hands will. You need 'motorcycle' gloves. For about $150, you can get something that has a kevlar re-enforced palm (the part that will hold your weight IF you hit the road and absorb the brunt of the accident). Talk to people with lots of biking experience. You want warm hands but you also need to protect them. People that don't and have a wreck, have often lost the use of their hands. You don't want that, trust me!

This would be a descent choice. Also check out the line on BC.com from Hestra. They'd be a great choice as well.Hope that helps.
