I prefer simple deer skin mittens with fleece liners for anything below freezing to about -19*c / -19*f I've had the same pair for 10 years. I have terrible circulation in my fingers and numb quickly. IMO Lobster claws are a joke. Snow board mittens are OK but over priced. Gloves are worst than lobster claws for cold (I wear thin gloves above 32 though). Pogies are nice but limit hand positions a bit more than I care for.
