A touch melodramatic but hey, you might really be looking for gloves to ride up K2, perhaps? That’d be a true Adventure, be sure to write a report.
When it comes to ‘short cuff’ gloves (by which I guess you mean the equivalent of summer length conventional motorcycling gloves) capable of withstanding the deep winter blasts , there really is no substitute for electricity, trust me. I use Rapidfire’s glove liners, independently controlled via their Powertroller (their word, not mine). These I put inside a XXL pair of good quality, conventional waterproof leather Apollo Rukka summer gloves. I have medium sized hands but had to go right up to XXL as, though thin, the inners do conflict a bit with the conventional lining of the gloves. I have ridden in these all day down to about -8 in Luxembourg and Belgium, in absolute comfort. I have also ridden in them in pouring rain at about 2 to 3 degrees, for extended periods. Just be sure to tuck the glove’s short cuff inside your jacket, or the water will run down your sleeves. Similarly, tucking them under the jacket, will reduce the chances of draughts, chilling your wrists very quickly. Try it. It’s easier than poncing about asking about gloves, that might suit your hands.
Maybe you could tell bods, which gloves that meet your criteria - you tell us you know what you want , but just can’t find it - that you’ve looked at, tried on and discarded? Maybe, you could also tell them if you just want to nip down to Tesco in them or intend to be riding the Alps for the next two months. Not least, tell them how much you anticipate spending.
