Can anyone recommend gloves that are both warm and practical for wearing in cold weather while photographing.

There are several types of gloves for photography, those that the tip of the index finger folds back, under armor, etc.

Traveler, thank you.

I need to order some other things from B&H anyway.

We went out this AM about 7 when the temp was 9 F and decided that what I had was not going to work.

Cdouthitt and jesseleduc, thank you also for your suggestions,

Your both from areas further North than I am. I'll have to check these suggestions out since it will be a while before the thaw.

Thanks all for your help,

Tom

In that type of cold, the gloves I offered are meant to be worn under a heaver pair. Others I've seen offered seem to be too "clumsy" to do fine adjustments.

That's exactly where I am - gloves either too thin or too thick.

It's seems that there are going to be plenty of suggestions sent to me that I can check out.

Thank you again and Happy New Year to all.

Tom

I've worn latex gloves under winter gloves so when i take off the heavy gloves, the latex actually retain some heat.

Thanks Jerry, I'll look at that solution also. We will have plenty of cold weather to experiment in this winter!

A 2 layer system is best. You can remove the outer glove when you want to take a photo or make an adjustment and then put it back on when done.

Tom, probably not better but more available, check out sporting goods/hunting stores, lots of warm and well engineered gloves. And they come in camo!
