Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm currently at a loss for using my unarmed focused bionic character during the cold seasons due to his finger-less glove options not even remotely helping with frostbite. Pockets help and are a great feature, but I do not see a reason why there are not any at least somewhat warm finger-less gloves without modification. The only options are leather ones with 10 warmth, armored ones with 5 warmth, and leather armor gauntlets with 15 warmth. Right now the only way to insulate finger-less gloves is to use the tailoring kit to add a liner. Since a tailoring kit isn't always easy to find it would a nice addition for characters that are unarmed focused with hand augmentations/mutations in the cold seasons.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
Simply a version of glove liners that are finger-less so that you can wear finger-less gloves without freezing your hands off and still use augmentations or mutations to the hands. Alternatively maybe add a pair of mittens that fold back to fingerless gloves.
Some ideas are:
-The ability to cut off any pair of gloves fingers/fingertips.

-Fingertipless Gloves - Material cloth/leather/knit - has more warmth than it's close cousin the finger-less glove.

-Mitten/Finger-less glove hybrid that when activated switch from finger-less to mitten and are encumbering when active (mitten mode) such as longer firing time, unable to shoot or added dispersion. something along those lines.

If you've ever worn a decent pair of finger-less/fingertip-less gloves they actually are not that cold, only the very ends of your fingers get cold. The whole premise of finger-less gloves is to keep your hands warm AND give you dexterity or they would be a pointless product.

But they are pointless products starting from any significantly cold temperature. I am pretty sure they were not invented for cold weather at all.

The only one that really was made for the cold is the mitten/glove hybrid, that seems to be the only feasible one for actually preventing frostbite. Do we at least agree on that one?

I vote for the foldable mitten, that should be in game.
