I agree with everyone's comments that mittens are warmer than gloves. I have several different kinds of mittens from leather, to heavy wool, to insulated gore-tex. Generally I wear the leather for ax or other heavy work, the heavy wool for extreme cold, and the gore-tex for wet. But I wear the same liner for all of them--cheap Wal-Mart acrylic gloves with the plastic gripping dots on the palm face. When I need to do delicate work (such as striking a match), I can slip off the mittens and do it with the grippy liners without freezing my hands.
