Check out some outdoor web sites, look for Alpine style gloves maybe.
I use a pair of Rab Gloves for winter hill walking but I don't have any particular issue with cold hands.
Another tip would be to get some inners. I swear by Marino Wool for my base layer, so Marino wool glove inners would be a good idea.
And of course you need to keep your whole body warm, as soon as your core starts to cool, your body will shut down or reduce the blood supply to your extremities - ie hands and feet.
I do know when I've gotten my hands cold, like being to slow to get my gloves on as I gain height and pick up the breeze higher up, that it takes a long time for my hands to warm up again and can be quite painful.
