This may also sound sad... but my mother used to make me a thing we called the battle-paw..
basically she knitted a long fingerless glove, with a hard leather patch on the palm, with a shammy leather over patch, and then shammy leather stiched onto each finger, and the thumb .. ended up looking like a paw! , got wet, but kept on going.. good wool, and good m,aterial, plus.. er a good mother! a few people were lcky enough - and she made paws for them too..
I wore them in temps of -10 and in pouring rain... still here!
