I like the Dachstein boiled wool mittens and was turned on to them by a couple mountain guides. These I get oversize and wear finger-less gloves underneath, my current pair are alpaca and feel great. Over these go leather chopper mitts with a 100 grams of insulation. I wax these and soak with obenaufs and they are good for at least a day of rain after which I alternate in another pair.
Good gloves are really expensive. I would check the surplus outlets for extreme cold weather gloves and mitts. You can pick up some goretex thinsulate numbers for $20 bucks sometimes as opposed to ski or motor cycle gloves that can run as high as $150.
