Any good winter gloves for using STI shifters?

Recently moved into the 21st Century and bought a new road bike to supercede my trusty old 531c framed bike. It's also my first experience with STI's on a road bike.

The bike has Dura Ace 7800 shifters, and as my first ride was on a particularly chilly morning, I though winter gloves would be a sensible chioce. I've got a pair of Endura winter gloves with a thermal lining, which havee performed faultlessly on my mountain bike. I did find on the road bike that as the finger tips are not very close fitting, I kept getting them trapped between the levels on the STI's.

Can anyone recommend a good glove which is warm enough for winter but close-fitting enough to shift cleanly? Or do I just need to adapt my shifting technique?

Thanks.
