The latex gloves are just to keep the Vaseline contained. The Vaseline seems to trap body heat somehow.
Outdoor research gloves are good, but expensive.
Yesterday I was at the range and had borrowed my wife's black diamond gloves. It was 20 degrees out.

They actually worked really well...warm and not much thicker than bare fingers. No problem operating the Garand, Arisaka, and even my daughter's cricket rifle with them.
When it's very cold, combine with thinsulate style mittens that you can pull back the finger cover.
I'm also looking at milsurp cold weather shooters gloves. But I think I might get my own pair of black diamonds.

I got two pairs of these for free at a Nascar race, Irwin Tools had a demonstration exhibit and they were giving stuff away.
I like the open fingertips especially for loading and unloading single action revolvers.
