glove liners in bed

I wear fingerless wool gloves because they make working a zipper easy.

Not needed. Use the fly in your base layer as a multi-use item :)

Anyone else ever worn light gloves to bed in the winter?

Absolutely yes! Any time the expected temp is expected to dip towards 35F or lower. Cold fingers, toes and nose are the last barrier to sleep for me

If REALLY cold I'll wear slightly heavier gloves even if I have to take one off to operate zips/drawstrings … can always tuck it into my waistband to keep it found.

Regarding Nick's suggestion … not the fly but hands tucked in waistband keeps my arms from sliding off the pad when lying on my back

I use fingerless mittens. They're even more useful in the morning when I'm heating up oatmeal, coffee, tea.

Not really on topic but…
I HATE lotion on my hands and wont use it ever. But here in arid Utah onset of winter weather = a further drop in ambient humidity and painful, distracting, split skin on the fingertips.

This winter I've taken to wearing liner gloves to bed every night and the problem is solved :-)

One of those "age brings wisdom" things I guess.

"Not needed. Use the fly in your base layer as a multi-use item"

The real reason Nick likes to solo backpack. :) Sorry, Nick, I couldn't resist.

Target (http://www.target.com/p/c9-by-champion-men-s-easy-touch-gloves-assorted-colors/-/A-14726240) has some stretch-nylon running gloves. They're great for around camp and sleeping.

For true winter conditions I'll wear powerstretch tights, top, balaclava and gloves. Covered with insulated socks, pants and parka.
