Several weeks ago I bought the AquaTech gloves where you can poke the tip of your thumb and index finger through a little hole in the fingertips. Mine came from B&H.
They've been warm enough for me so far (NY Tri-State area) in the snow this winter and I do suffer with the cold. If it gets colder and I find they're not warm enough, I plan to wear thin gloves with appropriate holes cut out underneath the AquaTechs as an insulating layer.
I've thought of that as well, using silk or thin polypro liners in the gloves. With silk liners I don't think size would be a problem, but with some of the thick polypro, I think you should buy one size up. So far though down to 25 degrees F., the Aquatechs alone have been good. If you add the glove liner layer, the gloves should be good to well below freezing, as are similarly layered ski gloves.
The wrist cords I find useful if I want to pull off the glove and not risk losing it; I did the same thing with ski gloves.

I tried a pair at Paragon Sports here in the city, and though they're flexible, there is not a good feel for the buttons and dials as there is with the Lowepro or Aquatech. And the ones I tired were soft leather without a lining. They're more tactile for a football, but not designed to be warm.
Because of this thread, I just went to www.rei.com and bought a pair of silk liners for my Aquatechs.
