Everyone will look at his hands and wonder why they can see them a mile away....

No good for the "opportunist" strangler, then

What are you, some kind of peasant?

You need something like Ron Hill Running Gloves. They come in two thicknesses. Thin to keep chill off the hand when not that cold and thicker ones for when it is colder. Works for me.

How about these, durable, waterproof, multi use

[BolshieBastard]

I get cold hands pretty easily so from around November wear thin gloves outside, and switch to big thick ones when most people start wearing regular gloves.

But mittens get soggy and warmer gloves are incredibly cumbersome when you want to be able to use pockets, keys, etc.

I imagine modern fabric technology must provide some really thin, but super-efficient and waterproof gloves if I knew where to look, but I don't.

Can anyone offer advice what to look for?

Just before I gave a young lady a lift home from music practice last night I put on my black leather gloves and mused "these would make quite good strangling gloves" without thinking...

They look like murderer's gloves like they use in those 80's/90's detective series...

+1, that's why they have the straps to keep them on, should the victim, be rude enough to put up a struggle

You need tittens pal.

I'm still a good few estate agent encounters away from getting to that point, yet.

I'd ask AtW for advice on anything to do with Russian-type-weather

Get the job done, though.
