12. When selecting gloves

try them on, then hold the top of a finger to your lips and try to exhale through the glove. If you can feel your breath on your finger, those gloves won't work.

At a store that sells rock-climbing gear was a pair of gloves I liked, but didn't have the money at the time. The bottoms of the fingers and the palms were fairly thin, indicating a good feel of the controls, and the tops were thicker and wind-proof (breath-proof).

The guards mentioned by others here are probably your best initial move. Good luck.
