Can anyone recommend a ggod pair of winter gloves. I don't mind paying top money for them as long as they keep your hands warm and dry.

The Hein gericke "lobster" gloves are brilliant! 
Don't be put off by the design, you don't miss the extra fingers and for the money (£35?) they kept we warm and dry through all sorts of foul weather and snow at motorway speeds.

Another vote for the Pathan or 'Lobster' glove. Bought a pair last year and they're brilliant.

Hard to say...
I have some old BMW ones Pro: Warm, Dry - Con: Bulky, Palms get hot with heated grips but tops still cold.
I tried the Panthan 'Lobster' Pro: Warm, Dry - Con: Never got comfortable using them. Same issue with heated grips.
I now use muffs and summer gloves. Pro: Warm, Dry, Have full 'feel', don't get cold tops of hands - Con: Muffs are bulky to store on the bike if you need to take them off (to stop them getting pinched)
I only have the muffs if I know I'm going on a long(ish) ride in the cold. Otherwise at this time of year I wear summer gloves and keep the BMW ones in the top box as a backup.
Like any kit choice there's no right and wrong - just what works for you...

Leave my muffs on the bike all the time in winter, never crossed my mind that someone would want to steal them

I'll vote for that! It really really is better than winter gloves.

Aaaaaaand another one for muffs. Put them on this morning for their 3rd season. Top kit even if they look a bit silly. But then that statement applies to the rider as well.
