The possum fur stuff is incredible. I don't have personal use of the wool/fur blend, but I can vouch for very thin possum fur as terrific.
As a motorcyclist I have and use in winter, silk inner gloves. When on trips to Germany in winter I take the silk gloves specifically for photography. I wear a pair of normal winter leather gloves which I borrow from my in-laws, inside I have the silk gloves on. To take a picture I simply pull my hands out and the leather gloves hang from a thin leather string from my jacket.
Using this method I have quite successfully used my F3 bodies down to -26C and suffered no real problems. I do not attempt film changing with the gloves on though, I prefer to do this either inside a building or some other kind of shelter.
Just a small snippet on possum stuff. On a recent trip to NZ, the ladies were intrigued with the possum nipple warmers being offered at a specialist winter clothing place. As we are motorcyclists and this can be a more than uncomfortable problem for some people, one of the ladies bought a pair and tried them. Within a few days just about all of the ladies had purchased possum nipple warmers, they were that good at retaining heat!
