Hey Greg,
I like Bob's recommendation for general keep your hands warm the mittons are great, I use them when snowmobiling to the location and when dexterity is not high on the list, but max warmth is... When fishing I usually keep my hands in my pockets and don't wear gloves, but if my hands get wet and cold, I got a pair of Eskimo gloves that are water resistant, not rubber, but a gortex type material... they aren't overly warm, but they keep the wet and wind off and they are thin so you can still use your hands.. I'll have to show you next time you're up... Not great, but they work... I used to have a pair of finger less wool gloves that I really liked, but have misplaced them, if you get them, don't get the ones with the flap that covers the finger tips, they are a pain in the rear and the flap doesn't really help... Get the ones with the tips missing... They suck for hooks snagging into them, but they are warm and useful... Just my take from a guy that mostly goes bare handed... Later Jeff
