Those little nitrile gloves KILL my hands, they make them colder than they would be without gloves! I’ve had several outside work jobs and while I love those gloves when it’s warm and wear them constantly, I can not wear them when it’s cold outside for even a minute.
So far this year liners and neoprene palmed gloves are “ok” but I never have found a pair of gloves that actually keep my hands warm. :no:

I really like my SSG Ten Below gloves. They are very warm. I like to buy them a size or two larger than I normally wear. For some reason, it’s easier to work in then with a little room. They’re a bit bulky, but the best I’ve tried for warmth and “waterproofness.” I can ride in them, but I can’t tack up in them. For barn chores, they’re great.[/QUOTE]
I would give these a try. I have several pairs of their riding gloves and love them. Great fit and last reasonably long considering the amount of use I give them but I only use them when riding. Even with winter temps in the 20’s they are pretty warm for being so thin.

Get yourself a pair of silk or tech fabric glove liners.
Layer under waterproof gloves - maybe neoprene?
Yes, it means wearing 2 pairs, but the liners really work to keep hands warm.
In less than arctic cold I’ve discovered wearing 2 pair of those cheapo Magic Gloves works & they tend to stay together when removed.
No Reynaud’s, but my “touch of arthritis” hands are useless claws if chilled.
And no, you’re not crazy.
I’ve seen the bunny-lined gloves, but usually as fine leather unsuited for riding or barn chores :no:[/QUOTE]
Outstanding advice. Silk glove liners from Cabelas are the same ones you buy at ski shops but cost a lot less. They’ve also go silk sock liners that work very well, also.
Wear a hat, too. That will dramatically reduce heat loss.

I have a pair of terramar merino wool liners that I wear inside of gloves in the winter, and they make even dress gloves pretty warm - I’d imagine inside a proper glove they’d be quite toasty. I think they were $6 at sierra trading post.
When I was regularly doing barn work, I got a pair of nice skiing gloves. They were so waterproof that I could reach into the water trough and pull chunks of ice out.
I wore these all winter in New england last year, a brutally cold winter.
