In the Pac NW, I use a variety of gloves for various temperature and weather conditions. Worst case (temps below 3 deg C - mid-30's F), I use thick downhill ski gloves. You need to push buttons? The gloves are easy enough to remove and put back on, even with wet hands. I don't use glove liners; I like to maximize the "dead air space" inside the glove, because that's what keeps your hands warm. Filling the glove with liners just removes this dead air and actually makes your hands colder.

Also, as most people who live in wet northern climates will attest, if the glove is the least bit tight, it becomes very difficult to put on if your hands are wet. But typically, when it rains in the Pac NW, the temperatures usually rise a bit, usually getting above 5 deg C (40 deg F). I use a slighter thinner fall/winter glove for this range, or I use neoprene rain gloves, but I use the XL size to get the extra dead air space. Again, for fine finger work, I often have to remove the glove, and an XL glove is slighter easier to get on with wet hands.

Once the temps are above 15 deg C (60 deg F), I'm usually in my thin long-fingered gloves, which I usually wear year-round. I can usually accomplish most fine-finger work in these, and I even wear them on hot days in order to avoid the "glove tan" and to protect my fingers in a crash. This is still an affectation too from my track racing days, where I always wore long-finger gloves.
