My hands will be covered by gloves, liner gloves, mittens or overmitts depending on the situation and conditions. I worked for 45 years in the outdoor field and my hands have become sensitive to the cold. Regardless of how many times we'd ask our students to adjust their snowshoe bindings to their boots the night before a trip (in the comfort of their room), invariably someone wouldn't bother. I'd let them struggle at first in the snow so they could learn some sort of lesson but in the end, it was up to me or one of my staff to adjust the binding. If we didn't, they'd slip out or have some problem along the way. Anyway, because of the amount of time my hands have been exposed to cold, snow and ice over the years, unless it's above 20 F, I need something to protect my digits. If it's in that range, liner gloves or light gloves work well. The colder it gets, the more I'll move in the direction of mittens. When it's truly cold (and windy), I'll break out the overmitts and wear a pair of liner gloves under them in case I need to do "fine" work where dexterity is required.
I realize that's a long winded response so I apologize for that. But, bottom line, conditions warrant what it is you'll find on my hands. At this point in my life, I just don't see that changing.
That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.
