I use those type of gloves on the large size plus thin knit gloves underneath (you can find nice ones ant hunting shops). The outer gloves I have also have a flap on the thumb, which is useful for the thumb wheels.

With Latex you would build up sweat and it would become very uncomfortable I would think.

Even with these two layers, in sub-zero weather with wind this winter, I left the cover flaps open exposing my knit covered fingers for too long. All of a sudden my fingers were in agonizing pain and I couldn't move them even to press the shutter. Took me 1half an hour to get them warm enough that the pain went away. and I could shoot again.

The funny thing is, your probably not joking and I don't blame you, I have done it. Hypothermia is no joke, gotta do what you gotta do!

I use these . Fingers stay covered and there's a zippered compartment to put those disposable hand warmers in. They work great!

Me too! Used them this whole winter in northern Utah. Even when spending several hours outside in temps ranging in the teens I had no problems with cold fingers. They are the first pair of gloves that I've found to do the job for me. Recommended to me by a Montana photographer.

Great post, I also place chemical hand warmers in mine. It works very well.

The local Canadian Walmart has almost identical ones, except they are a beige wool with brown leather gripping and have Thinsulate inside. They have a bin full at regular price of $4.97CDN.

Oh, and they have a pad on the back for wiping your nose.

Don't need it. All the jackets, coats and sweaters I own have sleeves for wiping my nose.......

Note to self: don't borrow any outerwear from Johnny.

Well, I take photos in the winter but not problems with cold fingers here in So Cal

but I'll keep these in mind when I retire and travel to colder climes, Rogelio. Thanks for the recommendation!

Best Wishes,
Steve

I did this but it was so cold they didn;t seem to help, so I put them in my coat pocket. On my way home at the end of that day, when my car started heating up, my pockets felt like they were on fire

While I have some like Roger's, here is pic I took of a wal-mart pair I took a year ago with the thumb flap.
