Following an accident I need to wear gloves this winter to protect some fingers with a lot of nerve damage that now always feel cold even when it’s warm. I hate wearing them, never use them on the yard because they get in the way and feel awkward and for riding I just use cheap magic gloves with the pimple on the palms. Obviously they aren't going to work now and I need some recommendations for very thin insulated and if possible snug fitting waterproof gloves.

Does such a thing exist?

These were recommended on the forum a year or two ago and I bought some for winter.
I hate big bulky gloves, these aren’t close fitting like the magic gloves (also my preference) but they’re not bad as winter gloves go. I have raynauds and really struggle in winter and I have to say these did make a real difference. (I think some of it is that they’re waterproof, so using tools that had been outside overnight and had a layer of frost or dew on them or handling wet haynets meant I no longer got wet hands which helped a lot)
Edit - helps if I add the link

Thank you for posting LL as I was just thinking I needed to start looking for some winter yard gloves that aren't too bulky :)

They ones above don't go small enough in my size, otherwise they look great! Hopefully someone can recommend a small hand option :D

If you mean just for yard work or riding where 'posh' is not required, I find the most effective thing is cotton under-gloves (or silk) inside nitrile disposables. I re-use the disposables until they split, but my hands are warmest like this and they're waterproof, too. For colder weather I either use Sealskinz (rating 4, not the usual 3 sold in shops) or for dextrous work, woollen gloves with disposables again.

I love these gloves, they kept my painful arthritic hands warm and dry through the winter.

Are the Ejendals true to size? They do a size 7 which would fit me although they don’t have any in stock at the moment but I’m wondering whether an 8 would be better.

Yes, I have found them to be true to size. I bought my pair off eBay so you might find the size 7 available on there.
