I’m with Coral Maestro, fingerless gloves. However, I’ve found that I prefer the Merino wool or silk type that bikers use under their gauntlets are the best compromise for warmth, dexterity and convenience.

Re: Gloves
On a recent trip to the River Eden in Cumbria I had a reason to don my gloves as the combination of a keen wind and wet hands soon had them suffering. I haven't had cause to wear gloves for a few years so had forgotten the make that I use. Here they are:

They aren't perfect but keep out the worst of the cold and are thin enough to maintain some dexterity. Another bonus is that I don't seem to hook them as often as wool gloves.

Re: Gloves
I recommend Simms wind stoppers, I have had my current pair for over 15 years, they were purchased when I was steelhead fishing in Oregon. they have been in the washing machine on numerous occasions and they are still as good as new

Re: Gloves
At £65 a pair I would expect them to last at least 15 years!

Another vote for the Aldi (Crane) neoprene gloves.Aitch wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 2:37 pm I bought a cheap pair of neoprenes gloves when Aldi had their fishing tackle weekend last year, still using them and they do keep mitts warm when I'm trotting... when I'm feeder fishing I have a Mitt/Muff into which I place a battery powered hand warmer... very toasty

Olive green or camo and both available in fingerless gloves or full gloves where the thumb and forefinger tips can be folded back, held with velcro. Warm and comfortable.
£5.99 a pair or thereabouts.
I've had both for several years and still going strong. Amazing value for money!
