Cold WX Gear

Looking for some unbiased advice please.

I'm not used to operating in particularly cold conditions as my previous aircraft spent winter in LA, a little NY and UK.

I am now likely to be doing lots of Russia - possibly up to Siberia.

For those operating in properly cold winter regions, what do you recommend for gloves etc.

I'm presuming some kind of thin silk / merino inner glove and something a bit more water resistant over the top.

I'm not planning on being out in the worst of it for hours, but would rather not be fumbling with blanks / covers / panels etc with clumsy / cheapo gloves bought from the UK high street.

Any and all input valued!

Cheers
