I use a wool glove underneath with a nitrile sized glove over it. I used to use latex on top but they were a little tight. With the latex allergy deal in medical supplies, now nitrile is the non-allergic option for medical gloves. You need to get the largest sized nitrile glove you can, not a one-size-fits-all. I use Best #8005XL from magidglove.com, they are $12 per 100.
For comparison, I usually do okay gloveless down to about 43 or 44 degrees air temperature, and the gloves give me another 8 or 10 degrees lower than that, if the wind isn't too stiff.
I also have a set of kayaking gloves that work well because they are thin and designed to get wet. That might be an alternative to batting gloves if you dont like the design of them. Neoprene blows because the line cuts it like butter (and so do fish teeth..OOWWW). I have also found some great outdoor gear in the climbing/adventure stores like Eastern Mountain Sports.

I have an old pair of football reciever's gloves that work well. I can't stand to wear anything bulky or stiff (like neoprenes). I have a ton of Jersey gloves that I will bring and just take them off if they get wet or frozen. One tip that I think works great is to tighten down your tension on your reel so you don't have to thumb the spool near as much. This will keep your hands dry for longer. Also, I use my foregrip almost exclusively on cold days to keep my hands off my cold reel.
