    Thin and warm don’t generally go together. I’ve been lucky to get away with either nothing or keeping a hand warmer in my pocket where I keep my hand between targets. I’ve shot some coooold winter leagues and Calcutta’s, too.

    I just like a left glove and nothing on my trigger hand. I find golf gloves on Ebay. They are thin and comfortable. I only go out anymore in the 50s if it's sunny and calm. Don't do real cold anymore.

    I personally like the Bear Paw speed glove but that's just my preference.
     
  5. Michael Gooch is selling gloves he designed. I bought a pair, $38 he probably has them on his website.

    As I've gotten older my hands normally are very dry and slick and I have found that Racquetball gloves work very well for me. Very thin and snug and you still have a good feel of the trigger.

    I just purchased some "winter" golf gloves. They come with both left and right hand gloves. $20+/- for a pair. They have an elastic cuff which fits tightly around my wrist. I plan to use them combined with the chemical hand warmer packs for cold weather. Cold for me is 40 degrees down to about 20. After that I'm playing pinochle in the club house.

    10-point is right: gloves are always a compromise between warmth and sensitivity.
    I wear golf gloves.
    Used to wear Bob Allen synthetic suede shooting gloves, but they have gone down in quality in the last two decades and now I wear goatskin golf gloves.
    They are not warm, but I like them.
