Question about the fingerless gloves

[tyger]

I never could understand the concept. Granted, I've never tried them, but ......

The concept is straightforward: in a fingerless glove, your homeothermic countercurrent blood vascular system keeps your hands and fingers warm while you are using your fingertips.

If one were not using their fingertips, then a mitten would keep one's fingers even warmer.

When either hunting, fishing, or performing some other tasks in extreme cold, I usually have both fingerless gloves and mittens with me.
