don't buy Carhart. I spend 50.00 or more on a pair and they were trashed in one day working with them. I use handwarmers and wool mittens with the flip top. Make sure they are LOOSE...tight is VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. Hand warmers saved MANY A HUNT for me, and I don't mind NO GLOVES with HW's.

I use the regular camo gloves light weight but keep them and hands in a hand muff with warmers when they get cold. I found that heavy gloves jsut cause my hands to sweat and stay cold. I have tried several different gloves and just decided to stay with the light weight gloves. Neopreme gloves will keep you warm but once you sweat and thake them off you can't put them back on.

I went from gloves to hunter's mittens. Once you get by that mittens are for "little kiddies", you would appreciate the mittens.
Hands and fingers survived many below temps. Even ones as cold as minus 10.

I've had thick mittens that open up for access to your four fingers that I bought from Cabelas many years ago for real cold weather. With them you can keep your fingers together and it's much easier to keep them warm than with gloves.

I have the same problem. . . I don't know if I have crappy circulation in my hands and feet or what, but I've cycled through tons of gloves for hunting and skiing. Doesn't seem to matter the price or quality my fingers freeze. Sounds stupid, but I buy these hand warmers from Costco and put'em in my gloves and boots.
