Default Cold fingers!

Over the last 2 mornings I've noticed my fingers getting bluer and bluer from my hour's commute to work at 7am. My gloves certainly aren't up to the winter (I suspect they're aimed more for the summer months).

Chatting to a fellow commuter with thick gloves and inners, he says his fingers still get very cold...

What's my best course of action? I don't want to fork out for winter gloves only to find I still have very cold fingers!



P.S. He said one thing he was going to try was some latex gloves (which don't have seams) - could these be the answer?

Would they really have that much affect? I'd imagined most of the cold was from wind chill, so all the cold air being forced onto my fingers...

They do help a lot. That or hand guards to deflect the cold air
