Wear latex gloves (with some hand cream to keep hands moisturised) under normal gloves if in very wet and cold weather - raid the conservators store if you can't find any in the shops, asking nicely first of all of course. You might end up with soft hands but hey, you can prove your personhood in the pub with a few hot toddies at the end of the day.
