Well mitts don't have movement like gloves , but they are warmer for many reason .I do have a pair or alti mittsthey are one of the warmest made . Can be worn at -40 also at very high altitudes . I reco a pair of thin liners for them your hands will sweat.Hi Rick,While those OR mittens are a great choice for warmth, I personally like to ride with the Hestra 3 Finger Gloves because they allow me to clutch/brake without taking all my fingers off the handlebars. The Hestra is a very warm glove and I think you'll be very happy with it riding your motorcycle. Here is the link: http://www.backcountry.com/store/HES0016/Hestra-Heli-3-Finger-Glove.htmlThese gloves are designed for high-altitude mountaineering at temperatures below -40, not so much for riding a motorcycle. The mitten design alone will severely restrict your dexterity. I'd recommend a pair of fleece-lined wind-stopper gloves, like the OR ExtraVert.
