What are a pair of decent gloves to wear while shooting photos with a DSLR? Something with a little tactile feel and decent warmth. Not looking to break the bank, but a mid-level product is fine.

Thanks for any suggestions.

or if you want some color

These are basically the same thing as any "pipe glove" that you can get. You could spend a little more on the saga ones that are all neo and might be a little warmer, but part of shooting photos in the snow is cold hands, so I would suggest you just send it. Once your hands are numb you don't even notice the cold.

I usually use glove liners because its still easy to access buttons and they keep you pretty warm.

I recently bought a pair of thermal work gloves, wasnt really expecting to be able to use them with my camera, but was pleasantly surprised to find that all the buttons (on my t3i) were easy to press and i could adjust the focus etc very easily. also pretty damn warm for only $9.

my only complaint is that cant take lens caps off with them on so i do have to take them off for that.

pipe gloves or gloves like twoods posted are nice.

Gloves made for fishing can also be pretty dope because they have flip back fingers and things like that.

warm ass mittens + a liner. You pull your hand out, shoot hte photo, put it back in the warm mitten. Thin gloves only sucks

I have some gloves that look like mittens but have individual fingers and the mitten part folds back so your fingertips are exposed and then Velcros to the top of the glove
