This seems to solve the issue of mitts offering more warmth than gloves but less dexterity: it’s basically a fingerless glove with a flip-on-or-off mitt top, so you can keep your hands warm until you need to use your fingers, when the top can be pulled back and secured out of the way on a Velcro-style tab.

The thumb has its own fliptop. Otherwise this is a very basic fleece glove, with Lycra-style elasticated hems around the wrist and each finger opening, and a plastic clip so they don’t go astray. All those seams and hems don’t make for the most comfortable gloves.
