Cold weather gloves??

I have been having a hard time keeping my fingers warm this winter you guys. I'm pretty sure I may have gotten them frostbitten a couple of years ago, because now it seems that I can't take the colder temperatures anymore. I mean there are times that my fingers are killing me, they're so cold. I have a great pair of Rocky cold weather boots, and I never have a problem with my feet.

Can some of you who deal with even colder weather than me please give me some good advice?? We can get pretty cold temps here too (not too uncommon to have a few mornings where it's just above 0 degrees with WC at -10)!! But I know many of you endure colder weather more consistently. Thanks in advance.
 
I wear a pair of liner gloves under some "fingerless" wool mittens. They work great and you can sneak one of those hand warmers in there too.

If anyone knows where a person can get warm insulated white gloves I'd love to know,they are impossible to find. About 8 years back Fleet had some and although I wish I had bought the whole rack of them now I got two pair and the second are almost wore out. Crossing fences is [beeep] on them and AR's are great for pinching/snagging also. I have them literally taped together and my fingers did get cold rather quick.
Hit a few of the big outdoors stores in Fargo but no luck however my boy suggested I get a pair of under armour liners which I hesitantly did cuz they were over 30 bucks and being old school doubted anything so thin could be that warm. I had however been proven wrong with snowmobile face masks thinking you needed a thick knit one to keep warm but the thin balaclava ones were even warmer. These liners are pretty amazing,they fit snug/comfortable enough where you can pick up a cartridge and my fingers have been fine up to 10 below so far adding life to my wore out old gloves. I think a guy could wear these alone with temps in the 20's good stuff!
 
I use polypropylene liner gloves either inside another pair of gloves or if it is really cold out in a pair of snowmobile mitts. The mitts have a string on them like I used to wear when i was in grade 1 and 2. This way, when I peel one off, I don't lose, it just dangles. Chemical "hot hands" occasionally thrown in.
 
CASTnBlAST...where did you get the Under Armor gloves? Are they white or black. I have thought of buying a pair and just haven't yet. When we get settled in and start our sets I like taking off the thick glove on the top of the thinner layer and if its not too cold I'll take the thinner glove off as well(better trigger feel).

Here is a picture kinda fuzzy but you get the idea. Was out last night which was down to minus 24 for awhile and they performed quite well,did get a bit nippy on a few sets but was impressed nonetheless. Picked them up at Scheel's. The little honeycomb thingies on the palm are kinda rubberized.

A pair of liner gloves under a pair of fingerless wool mittens works for me with air temps well below 0 and -30 windchills.
 
Heres What I use, I had these custom made.. the lady who makes them normaly only does them in duck hunting type camo. So it costed me a little more.

Cool mittens....so obviously, you just slowly pull your hand out when preparing to shoot?? They look like they would be pretty easy to slide your hand out of them, without having to tug with the other hand.
 
I use Army surplus trigger mittens, they come with a wool liner. I pull the trigger hand back in the mitten so I can quickly pull out of it if I need to shoot. Its all I ever use hunting, spray paint them white if you have to but color hasnt been an issue for me.
 
WI Pred Hunter,
There's a ton of dexterity in them and you can fully pop your hand out with a liner glove or thicker glove on for use of your hands and still keep them on. I haven't seen anything like them before and wish I would've known about them years ago.
