Gloves for photography in the winter?

Anyone have a pair of gloves that they recommend for cold temps? I know that its hard to find thin gloves that keep you warm but it can be difficult to use a camera with thick gloves.

I have a thin pair of North Face gloves that work decently well around the 20 degree mark but not much longer than 1 hour out side.

What do the rest of you use?
Thanks

Some type of sporting glove, Maybe the gloves Quarterbacks use. I have never actually used them but they are designed to give tactile feel and control while protecting from the cold.

Bass Pro shops carries gloves for winter fishing with the forefinger and thumb exposed to feel the line for a bite, they work great for photography in bitter cold temps.

these are on my x-mas list:

Look up "outdoor research lumen liners" and use them under a decent pair of mitts if it's really cold. That's what I use when a glove isn't good enough. If it's warm, it's thick and you lose sensitivity. With the liners, you can handle metal at very low temps without getting frostbite.

If I can get away with a glove, "biathlon gloves" are my favourites:

I don't have that particular model, but you get the idea about getting the trigger finger out.

I just pack two pairs of gloves. I have one thin pair of leather driving gloves that have a thin wool layer sewn inside. They fit like a second skin, and I can operate everything while wearing them. Then I have a pair of ski gloves that I wear otherwise, while getting to and from my shooting location and while waiting for the right light or whatever. I have a little carabiner attached to the cinch cord of my hard shell jacket (at the bottom), and I clip the ski gloves there when I'm not using them (the ski gloves have clips that keep them together, and that part just hooks right into the carabiner). The leather gloves are really small, so they tuck easily into my pockets. Switching between the two pairs of gloves is therefore really easy.

I use a pair of those mittens that you can pull back the top half and they are fingerless gloves

What I typically do is, under a good pair of sporting winter gloves such as what REI, Cabella's, LL Bean etc. sell, I wear a thin silk glove which serves as an insulation under the outer winter glove, but more importantly allows me to remove the bulky winter glove without exposing my hands to the cold whilst taking photos.

I use thin "runners" gloves when shooting, but keep a thicker pair along for waiting and hiking to a shooting position.

You could try thinner gloves, and then a big pair of mittens or something like this http://store.kifaru.ne​t/modular-handwarmer-p23.aspx for when you aren't working the camera.

So - wear thin gloves, when walking, setting up tripods, standing around etc use big thick mittens or hand warmer pouch, then take the mittens off to actually shoot with, then stick your hands back in the mittens/hand warmer when your done (with the hand warmer you could even hold a cable release in there)


Im typically shooting football in the cold, so I have a thick glove on my left hand (as it sits on the 400 hood) and a thin glove on my right hand, as it's doing all the fine work, pressing buttons etc.
When there's a lull in the action, the right hand goes into my jacket pocket to warm up a bit.

Of course it doesn't get really cold here

I use a pair of North Face E-Tip gloves mainly. I'll often wear a big pair of mitts over top of them if it's REALLY cold, and just take the right mitt off when I'm shooting. Always keep a set of the chemical hand warmers in my pocket also ... they last up to 7 hours. It's been -25ºC here the last little while, and this seems to work well. I've got many combinations of gloves / mitts depending on how cold it gets. Best place to find a lot of stuff is at hunting stores ( Bass Pro, Cabelo's, Etc)

I use a pair very similar to these. They work great for a lot of situations.

I have a pair of these and they work great for temps in the teens..

They actually keep my fingers just as warm as my thick heavy ski gloves

When I went to Bryce and Grand Canyon back in Feb I brought my Fox full finger gloves that I use for mountain biking and my dirt bike(I think my particular model was bought at a bicycle not a motorcycle shop).

They definitely aren't as warm as my snowboarding gloves, but were way better than nothing while still making the controls easy to use.
