I did a rotation at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin CA back in the 90's. High desert and it gets stupid cold at night. I was riding around with my hands on the machine gun mount of my armored vehicle for about 2 weeks and got frost bite. That stuff hurts.
Now I usually wear Nomex flight gloves all the time in winter unless it is really cold. They are great and warm enough for most everything. I just roll the cuffs down one fold. Great for driving too, you can pretend to be in F1 ,WEC, or LeMans.
But I did wear out a pair of them (one finger) in one winter in Iraq and another after several years of wear (palm)
