These Gloves--just got them (ordered a pair for my wife to help her hand pain, thought they might be good for handling a camera in weather, so snagged a pair for myself)
So, not only do the open fingertips allow full operation of buttons and wheels, this specific brand is covered with a matrix of slightly tacky (sticky) dots that make gripping the camera a sure thing. Neoprene keeps the hands warm (but could still have cold fingertips in cold weather, so beware. They are snug, stretchy, and flexible. I typed this post while wearing them as a test--but gotta take em off now (hands getting too warm).
Anyway, a bit pricey I think, but these seem to be a decent solution. I have an outdoor shoot this weekend--almost hoping for crappy weather so I can try em out! |

| Do they smell? Sometimes Neoprene stuff stinks pretty bad. |

Not that I can detect--out of the box they actually smell pretty good--no rubbery or foul smell at all.
Your mileage may vary :-) |

| Also look at hunting and fishing type gloves they have covered fingers that can be pulled back. I use a pair that was made for fishing and they work great but are not as insulating as some of the hunting gloves which are a little bulkier but warmer. |

| Yea--I have a pair of thick warm gloves with a mitten part that folds over the fingers--okay, but too thick and slippery for handling an slr, and the thumb is always covered. But very good in cold weather--not so good for slr buttons & thumbwheel. |
