If money is no object Assos have a lobster glove shel as a part of their winter system glove. £130 or so buys you a liner, an outer and the lobster shell. Or PI as suggested above for a one stop glove.

I've got some Salsa ones Ton, very nice and warm they are ... the only snag is, I brake with one finger 😉

Ton- Sealskinz now do them. I tried them on at the cycle show and they seemed pretty good. Wiggle have them but only in medium at the moment

got some Specialized ones, neoprene with thermal lining and to be honest if its not well below freezing they make my hands sweat they are that warm (and consequently they dont get used much).

looks like this is the current version (which might be less boil-in-the-bag)

this loony icebiker seems to concur that my old ones are too warm about 0F (-10C)

I have some of the old trek ones. Still not sure about them. They are warm but not good with trigger shudders or one finger braking!
