I can't stand the padded gloves with the half fingers because they make the grip feel so fat and they do nothing to keep my hands warm. I use an insulated leather glove that has thin leather and only a small amount of insulation. I get them at Men's Warehouse. I usually only get one year out of them because I'm pretty hard on gloves. They are great because you loose very little dexterity and I can still pluck a case out of an Encore action.
