You might want to check out Duluth Trading Co. The gloves they sell are for folks like carpenters who need dexterity. They are well built and don't have the mark-up a pure sports glove would have. Here's a pair that might fit your purposes: https://www.duluthtrading.com/80010.a...ended_products but there are others as well.

I junked my Izumi high tech handwear in favor of leather shell/wool inners. Gloves for moderate weather and mittens like that for real winter. I like it much better.

Try windproof fleece gloves, REI or such. I have had good luck with some windproof cross country ski gloves.

I do the same thing. Below 32f I break out my heavy-duty Loki convertible mittens which take me down to the negative digits. They are the bomb.
