My eldet lad would do that in the winter when he was a car valeting manager. Although he as far as I'm aware, doesn't have Raynaud's, apparently it did prevent his hands getting too cold.

I have some snow and rock ski gloves which are warm and fairly waterproof but they are hardly dexterous which I imagine most gloves have in common.

I certainly couldn't repair a watch in them but they are fine for operating the shifters. BTW, my riding style completely lacks any finesse.
Loss of dexterity if your hands are numb. I know which I prefer.
I've winter commuted daily for many years on a bike with brifters wearing lobster claw gloves.

I was going to say that!
Stolen goat winter gloves came up on my faceache page and I clicked to see how much they cost. Since then I have had over a dozen adverts for winter cycling gloves. Some of which claim to have over 100,000 satisfied customers. I looked at one‘s reviews and there wasn’t a review that didn’t get 5 stars.
You would think they might put a 4 star review with someone complaining about the sizing just to make it slightly believable.

Nothing but 5-star reviews absolutely is a red flag, so your instinct is spot on.

While I haven’t tried Stolen Goat’s Climb & Conquer gloves, they look like a ‘cheaper’ version of the brilliant Q36.5 Winter Rain gloves. The latter are fantastic but not cheap—dexterous, genuinely water resistant, not bulky, and super comfy. I find them warm down to 5 ºC (or colder if I’m cycling hard).
7hundred.co.uk is currently offering 20% off the price of the black version.
I agree with Cycling Weekly’s review:

However, I have yet to find gloves that work for long rides (3+ hours) around zero ºC.

With the Q36.5 gloves having the fabric being described as 'somewhat unique to the factory' makes me suspicous as 'unique' is a word that cannot be qualified. Something is unique or it isn't, it's a standalone word end of discussion, although many reviewers think it can be qualified when they're not too sure themselves. 
I had this problem with two pairs of so called waterproof Sealskinz gloves a few years ago, so since then I've never really trusted the term 'waterproof' with gloves apart from a pair of Margolds - !

I too bought some sealskinz gloves and those were the ones where the inner came out when I took them off midride and failed to get them back on.

Regarding linings pulling out, the devil’s in the waterproofing details. Regular waterproof liners can (frustratingly) often pull out. However, waterproof liners that are laminated or bonded to the outer glove stay put.
Gore Grip, OutDry and HDry are examples of laminated waterproof liners that cannot pull out of the glove.
