I have a pair of deerskin gloves that I bought at a farm store. They are cut like mechanics gloves, so I retain decent dexterity. They also multipurpose as work gloves for breaking sticks for a fire, and tending the fire itself. And they provide a little warmth and windbreak. If I am moving a lot, and don't want insulation on my hands, but still need something, they work great for that. I use them too much to leave them at home.
