I'm not a cold weather dog walker. I am not a dog walker at all. But each year, around the first Sunday in Advent, we brave the elements and hang very large baubles on a very large spiky tree. It takes about an hour to get them all in place and as I am not walking, my circulation is hardly circulating and my hands would be FREEZING without my special 'putting baubles on the tree' gloves.

I wear hand-knitted gloves a bit like this. On mine, I can also remove the thumb cap. Someone else has suggested simply cutting a slit in the thumb (material, not flesh!) to free the thumb for fiddly jobs.

It might also be possible to wear very thin, skin-tight gloves under the special ones... Anyone game to try it?

Googling "Handschuhe mit Kappen für die Finger" shows a few other types.
