Tracker Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Has anyone found any gloves that do what they say and actually keep your hands warm please? We don't find thinsulate very effective and are looking for gloves that are not too thick to still enable you to move your fingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek pringle Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi Tracker, Have you tried stockists of fishing clothing as I know gloves you are looking for are sold through these outlets. cheers derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebishbus Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Take a look at ski gloves, or there are battery heated gloves available. Brian B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeti Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You can buy silk gloves-no not that type-they are a liner for regular gloves. If worn under thin leather gloves they are very effective. Usually available from military surplus or cycling suppliers. These look good http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001RDGCYC/ref=asc_df_B001RDGCYC11504488?smid=A2ONOP2HHHI4TN&tag=shoppingmp20859-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B001RDGCYC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerC Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Try looking on Go Outdoors for 'powergrip' or 'Phantom grip' gloves. I have the previous offering style of these and they are nice and warm. They still give good 'feel' and grip well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euroserv Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi Rich, I am with Roger on that one; I bought the Phantom Grip ones made by Rab from Go Outdoors. They are very thin but are warm enough for most conditions and are very grippy too. When it gets colder still I use the same make -Rab and their Baltoro or Latok gloves are thicker and very toasty indeed. All available at Go Outdoors.

Tracker Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Many thanks for the tips guys - much appreciated - very handy. I think I'll give the battery powered ones a miss as Mrs T doesn't much fancy a leisure battery in her handbag - and the extension leads might not be long enough!!

Mel B Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Rich, what about some gel hand warmers, that way if her hands start to get cold she'll have something hot to hang on to! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flicka Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi Rich Much depends on what you want to do when wearing the Gloves. My wife wouldn't be without her Mountain Equipment Touch Gloves, but the Rab has better grip. http://www.webtogs.co.uk/Fleece_Gloves/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JudgeMental Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I wear kid leather gloves, very comfortable and warm..like a second skin. Just go to a decent department store and treat her. For cycling, Lidl winter gloves and also their gel padded fingerless gloves for most of the time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I haven't found any gloves that keep my fingers from freezing when cycling in cold weather, and I' ve got four or five pairs. Went out yesterday - minus 4 degrees - and had to stop every couple of miles to thaw my fingers out. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leake Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Bit old fashioned I know but the best answer is to wear normal gloves in conjunction with those good old fashioned hand warming mitts worn on a cord round the neck as seen in period plays. My mother used to use them and swore they were simply the best thing around to keep a ladies hands warm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Newell Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I don't quite understand why Thinsulate gloves don't work for you Rich, I bought a pair today in Brum for £3 and they're fantstic, my hands have been lovely and warm all day and the temp has been sub zero for most of it. Is there perhaps a blood circulation issue causing the cold hands? I suffer with slightly poor circulation to my feet and they're the first thing to go cold and the last things to warm up. D.

Is there perhaps a blood circulation issue causing the cold hands? I suffer with slightly poor circulation to my feet and they're the first thing to go cold and the last things to warm up. D. Thanks Dave, I tried the thinsulate gloves again today and after only about 15 mins my fingers were cold enough to take the gloves off and put my hands in my pockets. That said, they are still better than any other gloves that I have be they leather, wool or polyester. I have always had a problem with cold fingers and toes and hypertension medication does not help with that aspect, but my perception is that because the thinsulate gloves are quite thick and bulky it is difficult to move my fingers and finger movement does seem to help the circulation when wearing thinner gloves? My thanks to all who have contributed and I think we will have a look at some skiing type gloves when next in town as Dot has the same problems with her circulation.
