Could not agree more - so many runners complain of cold hands despite gloves, but they have minimal or no cover from ankle to groin despite rain/snow/wind. They are just asking for chilblains.

For the record I usually wear Arcteryx Venta gloves, with glove liners underneath if it is very cold. In extremis - perhaps 5 times a year - I wear Marmot mitts.
