Decka - Fingerless Gloves
-
On really cold days I wear a fingerless glove inside of a mitten. I find that the mitten is better at managing warmth, sucks with dexterity, and the use of the fingerless glove allows me to complete those quick tasks when the mittens come off.
For me surviving winter has become a hybrid of science and art. The key is multiple layers and lots of little tricks like the gloves/mittens.
It was also a lot easier to manage when I was 30 than now.

And what works for one person may not work for someone else. I had a friend in CO that no matter what he tried, including many weird hacks that worked for other people, like wearing ultra thin silk glove liners under mittens, or even crazy ideas, like applying spray-on anti-perspirant to his hands in an attempt to minimize sweating, he always had freezing cold hands.

I have a pair of super cheap hunters mittens made of some horrible polyester blend, The have velcro patches so you can fold back the top of the mitten and fasten it. Perfect with fingerless gloves under. Super warm and you can use your phlanges when needed, albeit for a short time.

@neph93 yeah that’s basically what I was saying. They make those for hunting with fingerless gloves inside a mitt you can fold and Velcro back. Pretty good compromise.
