Do you wear another liner underneath these gloves?
I usually have cold hands while skiing and use hand warmers, so I decided to buy the female version of these gloves. I tried them out last weekend skiing in a resort. The temperature was around -15 to -20 C (5 to -4 F). I didn't feel they kept my hands warm at all! By the time I got down the run my hands were frozen and really painful. I felt that the wind went through them while I ski fast and took away all the warm air. Does anyone have the same problem? Do you wear another liner underneath? Which liner would you recommend?
I'm so surprised and disappointed as I heard so many good reviews on these gloves.

For super cold temps, and low output activities like skiing where there is a lot of wind, I'd recommend going to the mitten version. The mits are waaaay warmer since all of your fingers are together and warm each other up. Hope that helps.
