Moom, even in -20 degrees Celsius, you don't need gloves on. The key is to keep the rest of yourself warm, and not touch metal things. Plastic handles on cutlery would be good. If heat can only escape out of fingers, part of the face, and breathing out, then fingers will be running hot and blood vessels will be fully dilated and it will be nice to have cold air taking as much heat away as possible. One might even have to roll up sleeves a little for extra cooling. I have worked in -15 degrees Celsius conditions loading ship freezers back when it was done by hand. I was hot, working hard, and light clothing was all that was needed. Stop working for a little while and it was suddenly VERY cold. Inside a house, in Ottawa, for a week in January it might reach a high of 18 degrees Celsius. But there's no wind indoors, so it's not too bad. But one can wear fingerless gloves if it's seriously cold. Skiing is similar. While active, a T-shirt is all that's needed. Hands are warm. But don't get stuck on a chair-lift like that. Insulation is the name of the game. Mqurice
