Gloves are mandatory on many building sites. You can't take them off.
You just have to learn to manage.

You take them off once you know who the police are.
The big problem is gloves can help fingers to freeze.

If you want cold protection wear mittens. Apparently the Canadians
never went bear handed. It was impossible not to use gloves in winter
and by the thaw your skin was too soft to work without them.

At least with mittens you can easily slip them back on. Gloves take a
minute at least.

The gloves with no fingertips, but with an attached mitten flap, can be
useful. The flap flips back out of the way, and can quickly be pulled
down over the fingertips.
