If you don't have a lot of money for electrics, Gore-tex or Hippo-hands, you can get trigger-finger mittens at any military surplus store. They'll probably fit right over your gloves, and while they're bulky they're snuggly. And they're still not as bulky as ski gloves or mittens.
And Tweek: it sounds like you suffered from chilblain which is actually more painful initially than frostbite, but at least it doesn't have long-term consequences. Kinda like sprains usually hurt worse than breaks, but heal much more quickly. When you have frost-bite injuries, they are more susceptible to reinjury later.
Chilblain is the suck. Needle-sharp throbbing, pulsing that takes forever to go away.
