    I've been looking for good cold weather gloves too. I saw the "-40F" gloves on Amazon and the reviews are shit, so the search continues.

    My work is as a desk jokey so feel free to ignore this.

    I use the deerskin gloves from Murdochs for most outside work, including car work a week ago when it was 20. Seem to keep my fingers from becoming stiff from the cold. Not sure how much extra dexterity you need.

    If you need bare finger dexterity I would start with the nylon/polyester type gloves, then get some lined gloves and cut off a few fingers from the lined gloves.
    Just a thin layer of protection will prevent the nasty cold suckout and stiff fingers.

    Also, I see that there is disposable liner gloves in cotton at wallmart website. There are some disposable liners in nylon geared for clean room use. These will shred over time but may last a few hours for the job at hand.

    That doesn't work when you're handling metal that's cold

    . The principles of staying warm don't change. You need gloves thin gloves. Plus a very warm core so your body sends more blood to your fingers.

    I've tried this while working outside and disagree as it produces sweating

    To each their own

    This is good practice in general, but doesn't really address cold hands. I've grown accustomed to wearing long johns and long sleeved sports shirts under my work clothes any time it is about 30 degrees or less. It really helps me be able to stand out in the elements for long periods of time in relative comfort, but gloves are still important.

    My own issue is that I often have to use electronics at the same time so the gloves go on and off the whole time. Very annoying.

    Have you tried the nylon/polyester type "runner" gloves with the metal fabric on the finger tips? They work well with touch phone screens, and the fabric puts a layer between your hands and whatever. Not very durable but has to be better than bare hands.

    I've had those for running in the past, and I like them for most tasks. The problem with those is that they are thin enough that if I'm using them, I can just go without gloves completely. If there was such a thing as a universal stylus that would work across multiple brands and models of electronics, that'd be nice.

    Right now I'm using my hunting gloves. In addition to them falling apart at the seams within 10 times of using them (I sewed them back together so no big deal) I just can't get a hold of the poly rope on my ladder while wearing them.
