    Need cold weather, high dexterity gloves...

    Layers are the key as described here. I got a pair of LL Bean gloves a few years back that are 2 piece, a polartec inner glove with a deerskin outer glove. I added a thin polypro glove liner to make 3 layers. These have served me well in some very extreme cold locations.
