What’s everyone use for winter gloves to stay warm and still have the ability to use your fingers for tool use.

I use thick leather with lining till I need to do something with my hands then I take them off.

I found that real leather gloves shrink when they get wet, I've got several pairs of fleece lined, gloves with an outer shell of "simulated leather" ( almost like a vinyl coating on them ) "TOASTY" but the only gloves I can ALMOST work with, are the thin "Mechanics-Gloves" ya find in most auto-parts stores.

That’s what I’ve been using as well but need more dexterity to drill and install screws all winter long.

Are the thin mechanics gloves very warm?

I'll say this, they are not as warm as my simulated leather gloves, but I can manage to do things for a brief period of time ( about an hour) , BUT I'm talkin temps. in the 30s to say 50s ( don't forget, I'm in Central Florida) yes that's freezing to us ! I did forget to mention, one pair of my older gloves, got ripped open by a brother in laws dog ... &#@%&*$#@$# !! I saw that the lining was a nylon covered foam rubber sort of the type of very thin foam rubber (used as a "pre-filter" in some briggs, engines and some shop-type canister vacuums) reminded me of my scuba diving wet-suit days, I STILL wanna kill that dog !! ( LOL ) I don't remember where I got them, but I've been lookin ever since, now those things were great for warmth, but as with most gloves, too hard, to say... turn a nut or small screw by fingers, any glove is a hinderance for small items or tight places, Sorry I can't be of more help than that, have you tried any gun-shops, some hunters gloves, are touted to be petty warm AND flexible !!

Mr. Ed

Gore Tex ski gloves. Not much bulk, breathable, waterproof, and provide enough dexterity for most operations.

Actually, Groupers are fish of any of a number of genera in the subfamily Epinephelinae of the family Serranidae, in the order Perciformes.

A Groper is someone like the politicians groping the gals.

OK Numbers, I know the difference between a Groper and a Grouper,I live in Fl., where we USED to have a few GIANT Groupers they called "Jewfish" back in the day, some up to 800 lbs. What I posted was in jest ! or are you jesting me ?? ( LOL )

The temps in my area often reach as low as -15. I f I absolutely have to work outside, I wear two gloves. First layer is leather. Second layer is a thick foam glove

Temps reach -15F in my area, too, but you won't find me out in them. 0F is the limit for me, and only if the wind isn't blowing.

The warmest gloves I've found were some Army Surplus gloves that use an outer shell of leather and thick wool inserts.

FWIW I ride motorcycle a lot.
Back when I was fit ,young & healthy I used rabbit fir linned leather gloves on the bike.
I think they were WWII surplus.
Now days when the fingers are neither as strong or dexterious I use heavy mechanics nitrile gloves under a pair of heavy duty riggers gloves.
Enough feel to roll a condom onto a frogs old fella but toasty warm on your hands.
Only down side is the tendency to make your hands sweat but I just swap the nitrile gloves every hour or so.
At 10¢ a pair, cheap enough to throw away, evcept I am too cheap for that & they dry off in my pocket after an hour or so.

^^^this works...old dirt biker trick to keep your hands warm under thin gloves so you can still have dexterity and feel everything
