They keep fingers warmer than gloves because the fingers get to share warmth. Maybe you want to try some of those freaky looking lobster things? Then there's the nifty wind blocking fabrics. My Ibex jacket does a great job of that, so there have to be some wool gloves that block wind out threre for our wool weenies! There's really got to be a better way to stay warm than three pair of gloves!

I've got a nifty pair of gloves from the bike stuff department at REI -- Novara something or other, that keep my hands so danged warm I'm tempted to see how they'll handle skiing this winter!

Works for me!
Right now the temps are between 30 and 40, and we are out riding between 2 and 4 hours.
I'm wearing a pair of soft pure cashmere gloves (that used to be my mother's), over which I have a pair of thin Polartec gloves, over which I have a pair of Ibex Climawool gloves:

Why should I put on giant bulky lobster mitts if what I'm doing is working well?

When it gets below 30 I make one more switch- I eliminate the inner polartec glove and add a thin flexible windstopper men's ski glove that fits right over my Ibex Climawool gloves. That setup gets me through anything, and it's still less bulky and annoying than lobster boxing mitts.
