I think mountaineering gloves are much better than “riding brand” gloves for near zero / minus zero Celsius.
They’ll have decent grip and dexterity as they are designed for gripping poles & pitons as well as using carabineers and other fiddly bits.
A silk liner with a good mountaineering glove, made with gore-tex and primaloft type fleece would be a winning set up.
Some also have wrist leashes for those times you have to remove them. If you’ve ever dropped your glove into a puddle or had it blow away when servicing something or going into your pack you’ll know how annoying that is. They are less likely to have high viz panels though, if that is important to you.
Trekmates, Lowe Alpine, Marmot and Extremities are reliable brands.
Some good options along with reviews here. Hope it’s of help to someone…
