Thanks Chris.  I'll try to learn more about them.  Still, I'm
skeptical.  We're talking about temps which are well below the "too
cold for fingerless gloves" stage.  Gloves that are reasonably warm
and yet supple enough to work a camera at your -5c range are apt to be
very unsatisfactory at your -20c range.
