Explanation / Answer

The answer is mittens are warmer.  This is because mittens have much less surface area than gloves do, so less area is exposed to the cold.  Think about how in mittens your fingers are adjacent to eachother acting to insulate eachother.  In gloves, each finger is surrounded by the glove which becomes cold.
