Winter glove suggestions
So I found my gloves are not waterproof today as the beach was snow covered. That and a 20mph wind made my hands numb after 1/2 hour.
Thinking a Neoprene thin glove might work well? What does others use? Looking for waterproof, durability and dexterity.

Check out this thread that I started a year or so ago. Feyd is the man when it comes to this department. Looked at some Black Diamond gloves yesterday
and must say they are now on the shopping list next time I head to the city.

I still say the BD gloves are the best I've had so far. My second favorite afte last season was the Dakine Cobra GT. But I have to admit it didn't
support the wear and tear they get snowkiting like the Black Diamonds do.
That reminds me, I need a new pair. Mine are really looking pretty ratty and I gotta say they don't smell so good after 4-5 years of heavy use. 
I can't say if the work with a touch screen. I don't mess with any out in the field so its a non-issue for me. Ive seen the gloves Kober suggested
and they're very nice. I think I saw them at EMS. They'd be a good light duty glove but long term, at least in our enviroment, they wouldn't get
through half the season.

I use Kombi gloves. Just got a new pair of them today actually. My previous pair lasted probably 10 years. Had to replace them because I wore out the
inside liner from wearing them so much.
They will keep you warm and dry.
