This is something that is frustrating time after time. Trying to shoot when it's 15 degrees F. or lower, depending on wind chill and constantly looking for that perfect pair of gloves that's thin enough to feel either shutter or cable release button, yet adequate to keep the fingers from getting that painfully cold numbness. I seem to buy two or three new so-called high tech gloves a year, always to be disappointed by them. The ones that actually protect the fingers are more like ski gloves and suited for that, not for photography.
Browsing the REI (rei.com; a recreational co-op, business in the U.S.) store is mind-boggling. Dozens upon dozens of different types of gloves, different thicknesses, a multitude of claims, and usually $20 or $35 a pair to prove they are 'quality' or 'high tech'.
Does any one have a particular brand of glove they've used with success and can recommend?
