OK I need winter gloves that I can still work in. All the gloves I see are way too bulky. Anyone know of a brand that will keep my fingers warm when its -10 and the wind is blowing 40MPH?

I just happened to be in the same predicament a month or so ago.

Here is what I did.........I dumped the idea of a "glove" and instead thought in terms of a couple pairs in layers.

First I bought thin silk gloves.........then on top of those I used a polypropylene glove liner (cheap), and then overtop these I used thinsulate lined deerskin gloves from the hardware store ($12.99)......which I waterproofed with mink oil.

I also tried GI issue wool liners, but the polypro outperformed them in an "ice water test"........where I logged the temp drop inside the glove from room temp to freezing with the glove(s) submerged in ice water.

The liner/liner/glove combo was great for hunting.......simple work tasks were manageable with all of them on. For fine work (loading/unloading gun, etc) I slipped the outer glove off.

Herf are they bulky?

Nope, they fit like leather driving gloves. Not like ski gloves. I could rebuild the carb on the snowblower with them on if I had to.

you could also look into getting the warming inserts that fit in your gloves and boots. They work pretty good too for a couple of hours.
