I have used latex gloves (from the drugstore) with good results, as long
the
temperature is above -5C (23F). It cut the wind and you can't feel the
gloves when flying. When it is colder than that, I should stay home
building
or flying the simulator. If it is really windy, I also use ski goggles,
preferably the yellow ones to increase the contrast.
The gloves could come in box of 100 or pack of 12 and could be use when
working with fiberglass resin. It is also very good against cold
methanol
:-)

Xavier, in Montreal where it will be 3F tonight and I won't be flying.
