Warm Work Gloves?

I'm a carpenter/housing contractor, so it's that type of work I am wondering about gloves for. Or anything you need full dexterity to do. My fingers just don't handle the cold like they used to. I remember when I first started construction how my fingers and toes would freeze. Boots are not a problem. Plenty of options there and fortunately I don't use my feet to handle my work. I ended up in the aluminum siding business and hung that stuff all winter long. I got used to it. We hated wearing gloves, they slowed us down too much. When it was really cold we would wear the brown jersey gloves. Within a couple hours the finger tips would have holes from grabbing nails and we would cut them off. I could work in freezing cold weather handling aluminum all day long and my finger tips were fine. I worked 100% outside for 25 years. For the last 15 years I've been doing more assorted work, but still most of it outside. Working for myself by myself, and carrying a much lighter workload, I have been able to avoid working outside on the worst days. Now it's back to how it was when I began, fingers get really cold fast. Jersey gloves feeling like no gloves within an hour. I used to be able to use those knit gloves with rubbery palms. Now that rubber gets cold and forget it. I used the gloves w/o the rubbery palms and it helped, but fingers still get cold. Any heavier of a glove I have to pull on and off all the time.

What do you all know about good winter work gloves?
