PS. I really like the equivalent of "Windpro" fleece gloves and they seem to be effective for me down to nearly zero degrees F., depending on, I suppose, activity. I've got both cheap Manzella and costly North Face versions of these gloves, and there is functionally no difference that I can discern.

I think it's wise to have at leat one back-up pair of hand protection available in anything other than benign conditions.

I used to have some Thinsulate ski-gloves that seemed okay for slightly colder conditions. The various brands in this category, again, seem roughly the same, and it looks like retailers love to take big markups on handwear.

I do dislike mittens, but a couple of times, at only somewhat below zero with gloves, my hands have gone numb to alarming extent, and I wished for mittens. Maybe I've just got that weird nerve disease, or possibly incipient diabetes...Who knows. We're all gonna die.
