Depends on what you're doing. When its that cold, I try to use lined leather mittens when I can get away with it because the fingers are together, which helps them stay warm, and they block the wind around the fingers like gloves don't. Good lined leather or ski gloves otherwise, but I have found that even the best ski gloves for example can be water proof, and be warm, except where the stiching is. Decades back I bout a pair of ski gloves in Austria when I was stationed in Germany. They were great, except so lined they used to overheat the hands and fingers and sweat up. They were great in extreme weather though like you're in now.
True story. A few years ago I had one of my Hogs in the shop about ow being worked on, and was time to pick it up. Was about 20 degrees out and had about a 10 mile ride home on the interstate, with 20" high ape hanger handle bars. I was wearing what I thought was a good set of leather gloves, about $70 worth. It was a cold ride, so I sped up to about 70 to get home as soon as possible. My buddy pulls up next to me in my pickup and acts like he's wiping the sweat from his forehead and unbuttoning his shirt, laughing at me. When we got my scooter back to my place, my fingers were so froze I couldn't feel them. I had him turn the kitchen sink on for me, told him cool water, not hot because I couldn't feel it. When I put my fingers under it and they began to thaw, I was almost in tears it hurt and burned so bad. I swear as I flexed them that the blood was going through them like slush. If I ever take the old iron jugged shovelhead out in cold weather, and it loves 20 degrees...mittens.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
