These shockingly warm high-tech mitts do the trick (maybe a little too well)
"
There are great gloves and there are cozy mittens – and then there are the shockingly warm Heat 3 Smart Gloves, just making their way into North America.
They are made in Austria by the Heat Company and were designed to be used by German and Austrian special forces combat troops, so this mitten/glove combo has an impressive CV.
While they're too bulky to be considered chic, I was ready to try anything, since I've never been able to ski for long without my hands going numb. Not with these gloves. On long lift rides up the Alps, wind seared through my ski jacket, but my Heat 3-covered hands always stayed warm.

My Essential Cold-Weather Photography Gear
I use my Polartec Pro Liner gloves when I am actively rowing and switch to the Heat Smart Pro 3 when sitting and waiting for the right conditions. Without my gloves, I simply would not be able to get my shots.
