I have a pair of WalMart neoprenes, they're only good to around freezing , then they're not warm enough. They are a little on the tight side, too which doesn't help.
Lobster mitts give almost the same dexterity as gloves. I have a pair that I've found to be very warm so far. I also use some "3 finger" mitts (actually 1 thumb, 1 index finger, then the other 3 in their own pocket) and find these to be quite warm. You can gather everyone into the "same room" when the pinkies start to get cold, then they warm each other up.
If you're dead set on wearing gloves, a previous post mentioned the new battery powered heated gloves.
