I like rag wool gloves. Dexterity is good and they are warm even when wet. WS
I love wool. I use a pair of convertible wool mittens, but my only problem is finding a pair that's well made. I can only get a season out of the mittens before the wool starts to unravel or the thinsulate stitching breaks.
I have issues with gloves as well. I think what I'm going to try is a thin pair of gloves and wear one of the hand muffs like quarterbacks wear... Like this one here...http://www.thornebros.com/shop/pc/Clam-IceArmor-Hand-Muff-386p2470.htm
I found the best for me is mitts with a hand warmer in them. I also wear wool gloves with the fingers cut off. I need bare fingers to remove hooks and bait hooks too.
I probably shouldn't join in this conversation here, but I use ice climbing gloves. They aren't cheap, but last a long time and are as warm as can be.http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/mountain/gloves/guide-glove
I only wear ragg wool gloves. It's kind of a shame after spending litterally a couple hundred dollars searching for a good glove (Arctic Armore, Ice Armor, Frabill FXE Snowsuit) to make a full circle and end up with $8 gloves from Menard's. The others were warm but dexterity was awful. Also getting damp hands in them was a joke.I always carry a super absorbent towel with, and before putting my Raggs on I make sure my hands are as dry as possible. The otherthing is with the Raggs even when wet they are warm. WS
