      Any kind sole have thoughts about thin thermal work gloves for general workshop use – no machining. The nitrile/vinyl/latex versions don’t help keep the finger tips cosy and cotton ones snag too easily. Am I asking for the impossible?

        Have you tried the thin polyester work gloves with a rubber grip on the front. Like these

          I use these on site when doing rough/dirty work, quite thin but should keep your pinkies a bit warmer too.

            Look for mechanics gloves. Thicker and tougher than the normal latex type gloves.

                Not really a glove, but when working in cold environment I discovered that it helps a lot if you use a hand cream. I’m not sure why. Maybe dry skin is more sensitive to cold.
                I read about this when I was a child in a book where the main hero had to do some repairs in a high flying plane and he rubbed his hands with fat. First time when I got out in winter to have a snowball fight I used my mother’s hand cream and it made a difference.

                  I would imagine that any kind of grease would prevent evaporation so you wouldn’t get the chilling effect of the latent heat phase change loss.

                    I use oil grip gloves from the link provided above. They’re not cheap but have very thin leather palms and a fabric back. They really are good for general workshop use.
