I'm sure we will all enjoy feedback from anyone trying out a new pair of gloves, regardless of the design. There are always new and better products coming to market.

Don't forget there are always new ways to spend our money, lol!

Absolutely. My grandson is on my lap. Haven't got many more years left as Santa, he's 6 now and smart as a whip.

Don't worry. Chances are he'll think of you as Santa for many years to come!

You're welcome! The reason I found the gloves was because I was searching for some good quality thermal underwear. If you are out in the cold much you may want to check out what they have. The pair I just received are lightweight, fit very well, and surprisingly warm. Light years better then the cotton-blend ones I've used for decades.
I am also curious: what sort of thermal underwear did you find?

The mailmen have what looks more like a mitten than a glove, and the ends have a rubber contact so they can
sort thru the mail, then if they need their fingers, the mitten end folds back and your fingers are available for what ever you need. I tried them works great but your fingers get cold ...

Who told you that? We've had paving jobs going right till Christmas, and sometimes longer. You can put down base in pretty cold weather. Never did any paving anyway. Retired now, but for 19 yrs it was my job to make sure the equipment and trucks were ready to go. Sold my trucks and gave up trucking after 25 yrs. Stopped turning wrenches and put away my tools after 19 yrs. Now, if I go outside in the cold it's on my terms, and that means being warm! :-D
I sure could have used those gloves yesterday while trying to shoot a nice sunset. It was 18 degrees out, and my fingers and hands got pretty cold. So did the camera. The heater in the car felt pretty good when I got back in.

This is the top:

If you search "baselayers" on the site you will find a number of options.
The top and bottom set that I got are light, not bulky, fit nice, and seem quite warm although I haven't tried them outside yet.

Thanks for this, I will check them out and see if they have them for women because I am always looking for something that will work. It would be nice not to have any finger tips out in the cold.

There are a lot of options. The ones I found are just one possibility.

Years ago, when I did a lot of cold weather shooting with film, I wore a pair of polypropylene "glove liners" that kept me pretty warm and allowed me to change film, et al, while wearing them. But, when I wore a hole in the shooting finger, I tried a pair of silk glove liners on a shoot in the Grand Canyon during a snow fall - they did not keep me warm.
Just recently, watching an episode of "Wild Photo Adventures" shot in the Yellowstone winter on PBS, the host talked about clothing needs and recommended "running gloves". I picked up a pair by Head, and though not as tactile as my old polypro liners, it appears they may be viable for pushing the shutter release and "back button focusing button on my D800. We'll see.
