Hi chaps, i suffer badly from cold hands (and feet) and had a pretty decent pair of M&S skiing gloves but had to return them as they started splitting at some seams after just 6 weeks but they didn't have any more to replace them with so just got a refund.

the requirements are they need to be wind-proof and water-proof as well as WARM.

amazon seem to sell some but not sure on which really!

thanks smile

wind-proof and waterproof - would suggest motorcycle overmittens that fit over leather gloves.

For skiiing or just day-to-day wear?

Mrs zcacogp bought me a pair of leather gloves last year. They weren't that cheap but have been a complete revelation in cold weather. Warm, comfortable and waterproof without losing any sense of touch (as I found with man-made materials). Dry out quickly as well.

Mountain equipment G2 gloves
The search is over.
I work outdoors all day, everyday. These gloves are amazing, after illness left me with poor circulation these had boys keep my fingers functioning in sub-zero temperatures.

Sealskinz. http://www.sealskinz.com/ Do what they say on the tin, good construction, waterproof and windproof, but breathable. (Also not actually made from seals.)

I recommend a thin pair underneath a thicker waterproof outer. You layer up your body but people usually go for a single pair and wonder why the cold gets in. Two pairs mean you get insulation from the layer of trapped air between the inner and outers.

I have a pair of these, http://www.estore.tog24.com/mens/mens-accessories/... wore them in Finland last year at -28C with a pair of silk liners and were warm as toast.
