Hi! Can you recommend good photo gloves? With wind shielding (wind trap) and maybe some rubber grip on fingers inside to get a good feeling of buttons?

I've read that a good way to go is buying biking gloves from Specialized or SixSixOne. Thanks for any hints.

You might also consider gloves that are worn for canoeing and kayaking. You can get them at Gander Mountain or similar sporting good stores. Just a thought.

I have a thin pair from EMS. Thin enough to sasily control the camera buttons, rubber tips for traction, good to about 20°F. I got a pair of "shells" - just X-Large waterproof lightly insulated gloves, really - for the very cold times when you don't need to control the camera.

I Shot the Chicago Bear - Atlanta Falcon football game in December in Chicago at Soldiers field and it was like 12 degrees BELOW ZERO!! I wore a pair of Football wide receiver gloves, and they did the job while I was shooting! Nice grip on the camera.
Damn I'm getting cold again just thinking bout that night!!
