I don't think they're tough enough for manual work.
In my experience you're better off without gloves.

If you stop trying to keep your hands warm after about ten minutes of going numb and hurting like hell they go hot and your hands stay warm all day.

It's called Hunters reflex worth a google. Very interesting
