Chopper mittens with thin glove liners.

Allows you to keep the mittens on most of the time but quickly manipulate your GPSr when you need to. That presumes that your GPSr has buttons or a pressure screen rather than one that needs a conductive touch to operate.

Could just be a brown jersey glove or something similar. You’re just looking for something that avoids exposing your skin to the air for the brief period of time they are out of the chopper mitt.

If that doesn’t work for you, I’d go with just the chopper mitt. Your hand will obviously get colder when you need to pull it out of the mitt, but it will warm back up when you put it back in, unlike a glove.

You can toss hand warmers in your mitt if you want but I try to avoid them because they provide a false sense of warmth and/or generate hot spots. Better to dress for the weather.

Remember that cold fingers (and toes) can also be the result of a cold core. As your core gets cold it pulls blood back from the extremities. So if you have good gloves/mitts but still have icy cold fingers (when you have them in the mitts, that is), reassess your clothing, especially your headgear. As the saying goes, if your feet are cold, put on a hat.

I do not know what brand mine are, except that my hands they are warm and my hands are rather clammy when I take them off. I got them at ShopKo and they even have a pocket for a warmer.

Mittens keep my hands warmer than gloves. The fingers are “sharing the warmth” with each other and are not separated by cloth.

It would also help to change your current avatar, cjaeger! 😉

Glittens are what works best for me. Hate fumbling w/ gloves and mittens are warmer but I couldn’t use them.

Fingerless gloves that have a mitten cover that folds over fingers to keep you warm in between signing logs

Have a pair, and made the mistake of driving with the mitten part flipped up………it was like magic! Everyone started waving back as we drove down the street. People are so friendly in the Midwest! (It made us look like we were constantly waving……ya had to be there 🙂 🙂 )

Puffins are sooooo friendly 😆

I have a pair of this style, maybe not high end enough though, since the mitten flap doesn’t “seal” around the fingers well enough to be able to dig in the snow without the flap becoming a snow cone holder. 😯

We like “lobster mitts” coupled with a light-weight glove liner. They allow a little more dexterity than a regular mitten, but you’d still have to take them off to open caches, manipulate the GPSr, etc.

I have some thinsulate gloves like the ones the puffins showed that I like for caching. I don’t think they’d keep me warm all day but they work for a good while if the weather isn’t ridiculously cold. They’re great so that you just have to throw back the flap to use fingers for entering coord instead of taking off the whole glove.
