After you buy and research yourself to death..get a few of the large hand/body warmers and your done. Nothing keeps you warmer than free heat on your core or quads..another huge muscle with lots of blood warming up.
The body’s thermometer is your upper chest..that’s why scarves work so well
The warmer that location stays the more willing your body is to give heat from your core to extremities. If your “chest” is cold..your hands will never be warm no matter how many gloves you wear.
Navy did lots of studies with SEALS and warming gloves / boots vs a much lower wattage vest. The glove and boot guys functional - dexterity tests were crushed by the vest guys.
You’ll hear the same from Iditarod competitors.
