Need warm gloves
Any suggestions on a great pair of gloves for use in extreme cold. I just can't trust cabelas customer reviews. I need people that are actually in the North, in the end of December when it is a negative wind chill, to say there gloves. And if you have any other items like facemask or socks and boots that work well might as well tell them to.

There is no such thing as a pair of warm gloves. I usually wear a pair of plain wool gloves and put them inside a loose of large overmitts. Or you can keep your hands in a muff around your waist. That as the advantage of putting a hand warmer inside to keep them toasty. A pair of wool gloves will keep your hands warm enough when you need to pull them out. The single warmest thing I can wear on my hands is a heavy pair of wool glo-mitts. It's a pair of partial wool gloves that has a mitten that covers my fingers that can be pulled back to allow the use of my fingers.

Virginia doesn't get as cold as whee you are, but I have been out there when the temps were in the teens. Can't remember he brand, but my wife bought me some gloves that were built with a mitten cover over thin lycra fingers. So the mitten folds back when you want it to. That mitten cover has a sipper on the back so you can put a hand warmer in it. They are awesome. The muff is what my hunting buddy swears by.

When it gets really cold (like zero or below!) I will take 4-6 hand warmers with me (the shake type). Two for my gloves and a few more around my body and maybe 2 toe warmers in my boots. Coldest I hunted was about -8F, but I was not out too long. Staying completely still for more than 2 hours in zero or colder is a challenging proposition! Now I have a fully enclosed box stand so I think I could manage a bit better in that when it really gets cold.

Absolutely, positively go with a muff:
Keep one or two of the LARGE warming pads inside:
Wear only thin, polypropylene gloves on your hands. They are all you need since the muff and hand warmers will keep your hands PLENTY warm. When time to shoot, you simply remove your hands from the muff and you are ready to go because the polypro gloves are thin enough for you not to have to remove them in order to take the shot.
