by the way i have tested some heavyweight ragg wool gloves from fox river. It's definitively warm and has a great warmth to price ratio but the warmth comes from the fact that it is bulky.
With several layers of thin wool gloves and 100g thinsulate liners i have got warmer gloves with about 1/3 less bulk but this solution is way more expensive

i have tested other solutions as well
1) (100g + 100g) thinsulate + thin wool gloves + leather cowhide
[left hand]
vs
2) (100g + 40g) thinsulate + thin wool gloves + 2 layers of leather cowhide (1 leather layer 1 insulation layer 1 leather layer 1 insulation layer)
[right hand]

2) slightly bulkier and a little tighter on my hand than 1)

2) is warmer than 1) preventing the cold wind from going through (cold fingertips after just a few minutes for 1); didn't feel cold at all with 2) )
1) is warmer than 2) to get my hands warm again after my hands were out in the cold for a few minutes
1) has better dexterity than 2)
1) is lighter than 2)
