I had read that the latex gloves would help by blocking wind. In my case, they worked more like a
wetsuit. The warm sweat from my hands insulated my fingers perfectly.
Now, if only they made latex socks, I'd be golden.
You can get latex socks. They are used for water sports such as kitesurfing in really cold weather. Unfortunately the ones I know about are made to seal out the water so they have a tight seal which also cuts off blood circulation. Look in kitesurfing forums

However.... you can do a similar thing with a plastic bag such as what you get in a grocery store in the fruit section for buying quantities of fruit etc. They stop the wind. Wear socks inside and they will keep you warm.
