Altadude, Are you wearing the Kinco 901's? The pigskin with the liner? They also have the Pro model with the waterproof liner which also sounds like what you have. I have looked at them online, but hope to find them somewhere, so I can try them on.

Andi, look at what the Canadians on wintertrekking wear. I know I've mentioned this site several times, but they really seem to know their cold weather stuff and are friendly people when it comes to answering newbie questions. If they can keep warm in -40C, they must be doing something right.
