Gloves... the right balance between thick and thin!

[Munchkin]

Recommendations please!

I have small hands, and most gloves that keep my hands warm render me unable to use my fingers which isn't ideal around the horses.

What I need is some thinner gloves that will keep my mits toasty. Someone must know of some?

Mac Wet...thin enough to tack up in, but warm enough. I think they have saved my life!

Ariat - their winter ones are perfect. They keep you toasty but you are still able to do buckles and fiddly things and thin enough to 'feel' reins when riding

The new Sealskinz, the older ones are a bit bulky.

Using these as work gloves they have enough insulation to touch frozen surfaces etc

Medium with rubber gloves over the top for lugging all this water about.

I may look like someone with a bizarre fetish, but at least I keep my hands dry!

I use fingerless gloves with latex gloves (I work for a printers) over the top. I generally huff into them first to fill them with hot air and they stop your fingers getting wet when you are fishing ice out of buckets! Although last night it was so cold I boiled the kettle in the yard and was cuddling it!! Anyway these gloves are available at stores like SCATS (down south) or animal feed places that do stuff for cattle and sheep (as a rule). Or print supplies! Oh and I usually get Extra Large so that gloves go underneath nicely. Once you have done you just peel them off and throw them away, please dispose of them thoughtfully.

Second the Ariats - wore them this morning and they keep me toasty even in this cold and are fine for buckles etc.
