Can anyone recommend a thin but warm pair of work gloves.

Thin blue vinyl "surgical" gloves, with orange rubbery knit over them. There's a surprising warmth to be had from just thin rubber gloves, compared to bare skin.

Best of all though is good circulation. Some people (fortunately myself included) just keep their fingertips warm naturally.
