I've tried a variety of windproof/waterproof thin gloves with varying success. Sometimes a combination of a gloved hand in my jacket pocket keeps them warm enough. Other times, a hand warmer inside even a thin glove works wonders if I'm out for a long time.
I just picked up these cheap loves for $20. So far, they seem to work as well as any I've tried at more than twice the price. Thin enough to operate the camera and seem to block the wind very well. These also have touchscreen capability that works as well as I've experienced.
Thanks for the tip Bob! I just ordered two pairs. I always have trouble with my toes and hands in cold winter if I am just standing around, like waiting for a couple hours at Conowingo for the bald eagles to do something.
These were shot yesterday from inside of my kitchen through the patio door, no gloves required. A7RIV+200-600 G.

Don't expect them to keep your hands warm in below zero temps (use a hand warmer in the glove). But when hanging around for eagle action I'll put my hands in my jacket pockets and they stay toasty till it's time for action. Then, I can keep them out for a time without getting frostbite. They cut the wind nicely too.
Been trying to bring my camera places I haven’t in years past. Like this morning, walking back to our car after having breakfast in Winters. Enjoyed the colors of this scene on an otherwise cloudy morning.
