Very thin, warm gloves for winter shooting

[Trius]

I just bought some Timberland leather gloves at Marshall's, around $16 I think. They have a bit of lining so are not the thinnest, but they are still pretty and the lining is enough to make a difference. They are great for driving, but I have yet to try them for shooting. If they don't suit shooting, I still have great driving gloves.

I had a pair of flex driving gloves that I found in a discount store and were very effective against the cold. They were much better than the pair of polypropylene glove liners that I bought in an outdoor shop and were supposed to be for cold weather.

I think "Thinsulate" is a material to look for when shopping for thin, warm gloves.

Photographer's gloves, flying gloves, iPhone gloves, what's next? Online forum gloves?

I'd like a pair of RFF gloves to go with my RFF hat...

Has anyone mentioned driving gloves yet?

I didn't see this until today. Some of the better driving gloves are very expensive. I have a pair of gloves I used for winter bicycling that were actually liners for ski gloves.

Really? Any idea why? They're not exactly an endangered species (in fact, they're close to vermin). Is it on the grounds of some strange and improbable kangaroo disease?

Not being funny: I'm genuinely intrigued. I eat quite a lot of kangaroo, here in France...

At one point, here in the USA, they were listed as endangered (probably because of misinformation). It is a lot easier to get an animal on the endangered species list than to get it off. I believe that something similar has happened in the past, with leopards. Very shortly after leopards were put on the endqangered list, it was discovered that there were so many of them that several country's game departments recommended that commercial hunting of leopards be legalized. Some of the animal rights orgs still use leopards on their webswites -- deliberate misinformation.

You'd think so, but Thinsulate isn't really that thin.
