I have raynauds. I have to work in some pretty cold conditions. Sometimes the drive we do tomorrow is -20. So, imagine being on your horse all day in that. You have to have decent gloves.
Yet do I? I don’t like my heated gloves, and I am a big heated things fan girl, but when the battery runs out on those gloves they are miserable cold. Also they are really bulky (mine). How can they be so bulky and retain no heat if the battery dies? I just don’t know. They are like $300 gloves, and I am done wearing them.
So, I wear high quality gloves and throw a hand warmer in them. Yes, the hand warmer does not extend to the fingers, but you can pull your fingers out of the gloves and wrap them around the warmer.
As far as simply putting a ride on my horse or doing chores, the gloves I have are good. I wish I knew the name of this set, I’ll look. It is good as far as feeling reins and holding them, and keeps fingers warm too! I don’t know how it manages without the bulk, but the one issue I have is that the temperature has to be extremely cold, or you do very little physical activity, because your hands sweat. I’ve never had a set of gloves that make my hands sweat. Wet=cold
The tag says 3M thinsulate, but not a name brand. Here they are if you want to search.
