Hi Ed,

I can fly down to about -5F and the system I settled on after a lot of
experimentation is a very thin set of glove liners (so I can feel
the sticks and switches and all) and a transmitter glove.  See attached
picture for an idea what it looks like.   In between flights I pull on
some big heavy mittens.

The trasmitter glove I have (and really like) is called a TransMitt -
the outside is waterproof cordura and it's fleece lined.  This is the
outfit I got it from, but I'm not sure whether they still make them:
