maybe something like thesehttps://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/ac...eated-featherweight-gloves/0000101854882 my dad complains of the same 20 years after nearly taking his middle finger on his right hand off with the table saw. his answer is south FL as soon as Christmas is over until May 1. he told them when his finger was dangling there just take it off and the hand surgeon said oh no we can do much better than that. he wishes the just took it off frequently when it is cold and it hurts. 
 America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I have middle finger at first joint and ring finger cut off from a lawn mower when I was 2 years old.  I use mittens and hand warmers now that I'm older.  The hand warmer are small and are chargeable using the same cord you use to charge your phone with.  I just put inside of glove and works very well.

Warm gloves but I hate to wear any gloves in most situations except for the thinner leather types I handle firewood with but other gloves I have to take them off to get anything done it’s like having 5 thumbs. Never could work in gauntlet gloves it was easier to pull them off and deal with the cold. Maybe that’s why my hands are in such bad shape now. 
 Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

An old silver quarter of half dollar held inside a cuffed, woolen mitten or fingered mitten will keep your hand and fingers warm by absorbing the heat of your hand and reflecting it back.  Do not have a TIGHT cuff on the wrist as that reduces circulation to the hand.
