I use an old pair of polypropylene glove liners. Warm and thin and cheap!

For many years I used Orvis deerskin shooting gloves--snug and sensitive-- but when the upper midwest got colder, a pair of silk gloveliners slipped on first worked well, and were thin enough so the deerskin outer gloves retained their sensitivity. Below 20, a wool mitten inside a trigger-fingered leather mitten shell on the left hand, and on the right a wool army glove inside the mitten. I still have these, but am outside the US at the moment so can't offer a photo. The mittens were GI, perhaps 50's vintage, made for ski troops. Integral cloth cuffs extended 5" up over the sleeve, and were elasticized. Important to keep the trigger finger leather well Lexoled or otherwise anointed so it stayed flexible.

Nomex flight gloves are NOT water proof. Wear them every time I'm at work. I can say for certain, they are not waterproof and they suck in cold weather. Only thing they are good for is taking down barriers and shutting down aircraft.
My favorite glove is a cheap leather glove I bought years ago at Scheels. Labeled as Scheels shooting gloves. Haven't seen them for sale in years. Cabelas carries something similar, but the quality is not the same.

Thanks, Doug. That helps. I should have provided the link, or been more specific, but the Kevlar ones I mentioned are on the Blackhawk site. After thinking more on it, I can't imagine them being lined with Kevlar without losing some sensitivity because of it. And, I don't need Kevlar anyway, just liked the design.
Yes, I remember the Nomex gloves from my time in VA-205. As I recall, most were green in color that we had on the flight deck and ramp.
I'm sure some here have used the heavier gloves with the trigger finder made with a flap, so you can snake your finger through, to trigger the gun with the naked finger. I know they would be useless for upland shooting, but I wonder wouldn't they work fine in a duck blind, where you usually have a few seconds, at least, to get ready? Or, are they just a gimmick? Duck hunting is where I have the biggest issues with getting cold anyway, sitting relatively motionless for long periods.

I understand the MACWET gloves are very popular.

For double triggers, Footjoy Wintersof winter golf gloves work great and keep your fingers warm. In rainy weather, golf rain gloves work great with double triggers as well. Also very affordable.

I like the yellow/red colored chore gloves you buy down at the farm and feed store for temps to 15-20F. 6 pair for $10. And the barbed wire fences usually claim a pack/year.
For stupid cold. I wear a pair of jersey gloves under a set of cabela's mitten/open ended glove convertibles.
