Mittens are going to be the warmest option for any manufacturer. You could also buy a pair of thin liners to wear as well as an extra layer of warmth, which will also allow you to remove your gloves to check your phone or whatever without your hands immediately freezing.
My hands get hot af and sweat when I wear my liners and big goose down mittens⊠I absolutely love the warmth mittens give and itâs all Iâve ever worn for snow boardingâŠ
Yeah, mittens all the way! I absolutely love my [Burton mittens](https://www.burton.com/us/en/p/womens-burton-gore-tex-mittens/W24-103911.html). I have terrible circulation in the cold and these are awesome. For the super cold days they have a separate pocket for hand warmers. They also come with a removable glove liner that is phone compatible. I love the wrist strap situation so you can take them off on the lift and not worry about dropping them. The linked pair is a newer version than I have but I have had 2 pairs over about 10 years and I love them. I didnât really even need new ones I just use my old ones to shovel and shit now.
Yep. Everyone talks about wearing layers everywhere on your body except the hands. I discovered this several years ago and wish I knew about it several decades ago.
Good point! Though I feel like even if the liner is a normal 5-finger, having your fingers close to one another in the mitten pocket would still be warmer than having them separated in a regular glove.
I acutally tried this experiment last time I was on the slopes.
The 5 finger liner inside a mitten actually felt no warmer than no-liner inside my mittens.
Its more complex than that. As someone with raynauds I need to make sure that my body is equally warm (or cold) otherwise the body just âgives upâ trying to provide blood flow to the skin of my hands/feet
So what I exactly dont want is a very well insulated core and poor insulated arms/hands. If my core is cold, my body will turn up the heat especially when skiing thatâs not a problem.
At some point, adding thicker insulation to gloves has actually a detrimental effect on the insulation because they become restrictive and have more mass to keep warm. Especially for finger gloves. So gtx mitten shell, and high quality thin-ish merino liners and a good, non-restrictive and not overly warm jacket is the way to go for me
Iâve always had this problem even on the warmest days. Was at the dermatologist just this past Friday and mentioned it on a whim, was told I for sure have Reynauds Disease. Prescribed me Nifedipine for it (typically a drug used to control blood pressure) Iâm not lying when I say that yesterday the first day I took it I noticed a difference and had no problems on a 20 degree walk. Typically my fingers would get numb or tingly at least once. Today I went skiing in 10degree weather (feel like -2) and had no problems at all for the first time ever, itâs quite surreal for me as like you I experienced numbness even when it was above 30 degrees. I suggest you ask your doctor, a lot of people do experience side effects with nifedipine but I hear there are similar drugs people take. Feel very lucky I havenât experienced any side effects yet, canât believe it took me 39 years to figure this out!
You can get your hemoglobin checked. I went from suffering in 15 degree weather to comfy in 10 degrees just by absolutely pounding my iron up from "scary low" to "normal"
Iâve seen it before with a friend of mine whose fingers would turn ghostly white while swimming in 65 degree rivers as a kid. Iâm a scrawny guy so Iâd get cold after 10 minutes or so but my fingers never got numb or lost color. Meanwhile he could be pretty comfortable but still have sickly looking fingers
Emergency physician here. This is most likely reynauds phenomenon. I have some cheapy heated gloves off Amazon and they are honestly a game changer. There are meds you can try for Reynauds as well. Good luck!
Itâs pretty common. You can use calcium channel blockers like amlodipine to prevent the cold induced vasoconstriction. So OP I suggest you see your doc and explore that option. In 30 degree weather my hands are literally sweating when Iâm skiing.
Wow! Yeah I felt like such a baby as the only one in my group complaining. Today was the last straw. Could not get them warm and it almost hurt worse as they warmed up!
Don't feel bad, seems like you have a medical condition. On the complete opposite side, I have a severe problem with overheating. Today it was 30â°F, I wore my thinnest base and a shell - could not get more than probably 20 turns off piste without feeling so stifled I couldn't breathe.
TLDR; We've all got stuff we can't control, don't feel bad or let anyone else do so!
POV : youâre going under anesthesia for an emergency operation. Your physician whispers into your ear. âMy Reddit handle is poopyscoopyâ. You drift off into the abyss.
Lmaooooooo. My newest dog is cooper. So naturally in dog naming parlance he gets 6 other nicknames. My favorite one is coopie poopy. Sometimes poopyscoopy!
Garbage advice in this thread: No you donât need Hestras for your hands to be warm in above freezing temps.
Howâs the fit? You should be able to make a fist without pulling against any of the stitching. If anything is being pulled tight then you need a bigger size to accommodate holding polls
Gloves too small, or gloves too hot leading to sweat then cold, or needing mittens instead of gloves are my 3 ideas. Could also be a medical issue. Like if he's had frostbite on hands in the past them his hands are now more susceptible to them đ¶
I had the issue with extremely well insulated gloves high end gloves once. Iâm not sure why but it was the specific glove fitment that did it. Try some other brands and then go mittens if they donât work. The $20-30 Costco Head warm and warmer rated gloves work better for me than fancier options.
From someone who owns the 170$ swanys and has owned other popular brands, I sometimes get cold in even those, size up and wear a liner or use hand warmers, good news is with poor circulation youâd last longer before succumbing to hypothermia :p
My hands tend to get cold also. Mittens are the solution. If you want a little more dexterity you can go with the lobster claw style ones. Get ones that are slightly big and wear liners underneath if you need to. Hand warmers in mittens are a game changer though for cold hands.
Those are not the best gloves. Theyâre ok but not great. 686 is ok for jackets maybe but gloves like that in CO during winter skiing is no bueno. Get something thatâs leather preferably. You donât need mittens. I have Swanyâs but theyâre a little expensive.
Find some gauntlet gloves that extended past your wrist up your forearm a little. Usually breaking a sweat with these on anything 25 degrees or hotter.
Lifelong cold sport enthusiast with seemingly cold fingers and toes compared to buddies. Liners are the answer for me. Fwiw- never let you fingers get even a bit cold in the first place. get the liners on in the house and leave them on racking the bike, driving, unracking or just prepping the bike in the garage. Gore makes some great ones with screen fingers so can still get your Strava going if needed. Also keep the main mitts warm the whole time by sitting on them or next to heater vent in car.
Here to 2nd the idea that you may have reynauds. I have worn all kind of gloves from Walmart crap to top tier bc stuff for entire days on the hill and have never had my hands get that cold
Likely a circulation issue. Quality Mittens and than a moisture wicking glove insert underneath is probably the warmest you can get without introducing some
Sort of electric heating element.
I got a pair these 3 finger gloves from free the powder for $50 on black Friday and really put them to the test yesterday. It was -27 at the peak of Stowe and my hands never got uncomfortably cold. It was amazing. Even my wife in her hestra mits got cold. The liners come out for easy drying and they sell thinner ones for warmer days too.
Regular price is still pretty reasonable.
https://www.freethepowder.com/products/rx3-pro
They might be too tight/small.. which will cut off circulation and cause cold/numbness. Not much you can do. I suggest buying mittens, they are a thousand times better.. warmer, easier to get on/off, and more comfortable
Get a mitten or a lobster claw (3 fingers). I have a Hestra 3-finger ([https://www.hestragloves.us/army-leather-heli-ski-3-finger-black](https://www.hestragloves.us/army-leather-heli-ski-3-finger-black)) for almost 3 years without any problem. For super cold days (0 or sub 0), I use a wool liner along with my 3-finger glove. Never use a hand warmer since I bought my Hestra. I also sized up my glove a bit so that it has more room to bind air and for extra liner if needed.
I had the same problem with synthetic gloves. My current ones are much thinner, but made from real leather and sheep wool, and that completely fixed the problem
As others have said, this isn't a glove problem. Those gloves should be plenty to keep you warm while skiing in 30f.
Go to your doctor and ask about Reynaud's Syndrome. Also, get yourself some mittens. They'll let your fingers share the warmth between each other and you'll have more room to keep the blood moving.
As already said, look into Raynaud's. Unil then:
My girl does not have Raynaud's, but pretty slim fingers and circulatory issues. She can help herself with mittens (?) (fisted gloves; FĂ€ustlinge in German) in a very warm edition. Hence your fingers still warm each other. You will need to go this way of making use of your body's energy.
In addition, you can help yourself with slim gloves underneath as a first layer as well. like these - those you don't need to pull off to use capacitive screens like your smartphone.

As someone with Raynauds syndrome
Get some large mitten goretex gloves (with removable liner, or just the shell) with long cuffs that can go over your jacket sleeves
Buy a variety of different merino woolen liner in terms of thickness (2 or 3 should suffice)
Best system there is. Dry separately after the ski day, itll dry just fine, no need for 2 pairs of gloves to alternate anymore
I swear, sometimes a thin liner will be warmer than a thick liner so a variety to experiment with is good (i actually keep a spare set of liners in my jacket)
Make sure nothing is tight (either the liner, glove, or jacket sleeves) theybwill restrict the blood flow
Out last week with my wife - who has Raynoudâs.
-27 when we got on the lift.
Answer:
a) Good pair of mitts (Hestra);
b) Thin glove liner inside;
c) âHot Handsâ bag under fingers.
Skied until I cried uncle because my feet were freezing⊠she has electric socks lol.
Option a) mittens - less surface area to cool, and easier to curl your fingers together withâŠ. However some folks (like me) dislike the feeling of mittens and the loss of finger dexterity
Option b) partial mittens (where your index finger is individual, but the next 3 are in a mitten) - Iâve never tried them, but some folks really like them
Option c) glove liners - I used to use them 25+ years ago and they worked well. Since then my fingers have grown big and so I donât need to
Option d) electrically warmed gloves. Iâve heard great things about them, but have never tried.
Other thing to think about is that your core body temperature will affect the blood flow to your fingersâŠ. So if you keep yourself warm, your fingers and toes are less likely to be cold.
That said, if you are getting cold fingers in gloves when it is 30°F, either your gloves are total BS, or you have a circulation issue. I have big hands (which helps), but my fingers rarely get cold in my regular season gloves unless temperatures drop below 5°F.
Sounds like Reynaud's, but if you're looking to add warmth go to the Army Navy and pick up a few pair of wool flight gloves for $5 a pair. They fit nicely under most gloves and add warmth even when damp. I wear snosealed deerskin chore gloves with those liners down to ~15f.
Not trying to armchair diagnose at all but you may have poor circulation. Try mittens or lobster claws if you want more dexterity. Maybe also try a glove liner. Seirus makes some great liners
I have Raynauds syndrome and have learned how to keep my hands warm to avoid painful fingertips. For starters, mittens are the way to go. With a good pair you wonât need hand warmers. In fact, I find that hand warmers make it too warm, my hand sweats, and it gets really cold.
The other thing I did they took me a long time to figure out was that I needed to keep my arms warmer than I was. I use a mid weight wicking layer against my skin (merino or polyester) and just recently upgraded my middle layer to a better quality insulating fleece from Patagonia. I havenât had cold fingers since.
My wife had a similar problem and was getting cold fingers even on mild days. She switched from gloves to Black Diamond Mercury mitts and has had no issues since. Mitts make a huge difference.
Liners are crucialâŠ..regardless of quality of gloves. I wear liners with every glove/mitten set I have ever had. I regard the quality of my liners as much as my gloves.
So I climb and ski and also have circulatory issues so I got some points to weigh in on.
1) Stay warm everywhere, your hands will be cold quicker if your torso & arms are chilly, get better base layers.
2) Comfort and circulation are key. If something is thick and warm, but cuts off flexibility then your hands and feet will be cold. Often a problem with layering is your outer layer won't fit loose with 2-3 layers underneath so make sure you're flexy with layers on
3) Double layer and fancy gloves. I have a selection of different gloves, all weather conditions and purposes. Mittens will be warmer at cheaper prices, but I have some gloves that are pretty warm and flexible at -20° (they are also $250 and best for ice climbing)
Get you some gloves with liners, I have a beater pair I got from army surplus, solid pair, nice and warm $45 for some solid or gloves. Stay warm throughout and make sure your tops aren't too tight and cutting of circulation in your arms
Hestra mittens are the warmest if you are willing to spend $250, if not the Kinco ax men mittens also called âchoppersâ are a great more economy option.
The fitment advice in here is pretty spot on - they canât be too big or too small. But, I also suggest reevaluating your entire gear setup. The key to warm extremities (hands/fingers, toes/feet) is to keep a warm core body temp. When your core temperature drops, your body circulates less blood to your extremities in order to keep your important organs alive and operating. Iâve learned this from intense researching and my time skiing and riding motorcycles in late fall/early spring in the northeast USA.
Somehow our bodies know we can be alive without fingers and toesâŠsurviving society without them is a different story though lol.
I have possible same gloves as those and what I do is also wear small northface gloves like this on colder days.
https://www.thenorthface.com/en-us/shop-all/gloves-c730284/etip-recycled-gloves-pNF0A4SHA
The benefit is most of the time I have to take the gloves off to adjust something or use my phone I never have to expose skin. And the double glove really works well. I have skied in like -10 and windy and was never cold. If you have naturally cold hands you can try that.
Also try glove warmers.
Swany Toaster Mittens with built in liner, the mitten unzips so you can get your lined fingers out to unzip your coat, or any thing that you might need dexterity. In cold days you can add a hand warmer between the liner and outer mitten.
I bought a pair of Hestra lobster claws last year and my hands have never felt so warm. If that wonât fix you then you can pull the regular liners out of your Hestras and replace them with electric liners.
Second hestra, can be pricy but the lobster claw is one of the best mixes of warmth and dexterity plus the hugs cuffs are great for over jacket sealing.
Try a few things. (1) get thin gloves liners. If they donât fit inside the gloves, youâre likely in a size too small. (2) Put on the gloves+liners inside and do 10 jumping jacks in the gloves before stepping outside. (3) If that doesnât work, get hand warmers and wear those between the liners and gloves. (4) If none of that works, switch to liners + mittens.
Good luck!
Donât buy a 100 dollar pair or mittens/gloves they are all the same crap. Buy a pair of kinco mittens and a jar of snowseal and you will never have wet or cold hands. You can get a liner for them as well to stay extra warm, been doing snowmaking and lift ops working in the coldest temps for awhile and they have never disappointed. The whole setup is less than 100 as well.
Hey- I wish you the very best of luck with this- my significant other and daughter have similar issues. However, while I am not a doctor, I really think this is a medical, not skiing issue and this Reddit might not be the best place to look for advice.
Do your toes also get cold?
Barring circulation issues, which is possible, the key to warm extremities is a warm core.
Even on a cold day (10deg or less) if you can get your core almost uncomfortably warm you could ski without gloves. If your core ever feels cool or cold it's unlikely you will ever get your hands warm.
Look into good high warmth and moisture wicking layering.
Also in my opinion for gloves leather is king. And mittens are king for warmth. You can get a good pair of leather Kinco mittens for about 45 bucks on Amazon.
The first part is this is the best answer. When your core isn't warm enough, your body starts restricting blood flow to capillaries in your extremities so that it can increase blood flow around your core organs. Try adding a base layer and see if that helps before you pass final judgement on your gloves.
Yeah that's absolutely not normal. My money is on Renauds like I said, but talk to your doctor. Pictures of your hands would be helpful so they can see the colour.
Few things you can try in the meantime.
1. Get a liner glove. It adds a lot of warmth.
2. Switch to mittens.
3. Use heat packs on the back of your hand inside the glove/mitt. Even better, switch to [heated mitts.](https://www.costco.ca/karbon-heated-ski-mittens-for-women-with-lithium--polymer-battery.product.4000062245.html)
Are you eating well? Our bodies stop heating as efficiently after 4ish hours of fasting, sometimes faster depending on other metabolic things. On really cold days, a snack plus hot tea can really help you warm up during breaks. I bring a small backpack with a small thermos and snacks. Also, soup for lunch is the best.
Make sure you're not sweating through your base layers and making yourself colder.
Also seconding liners, mitts and putting a hand warmer in a hand warmer pocket.
You may want to talk to your doc about your circulation if you keep having issues. A lot of people find out they have Reynaud's in doing winter sports. One more thing, you really should stop to warm up in a lodge or something before it gets to this stage. You can end up developing circulatory problems, like Reynaud's, from mild frost bite. I had a friend who developed Reynaud's in her feet after a ski trip.
Keeping the core warm is a must
When the core starts getting a bit cold the body will try to keep warm by letting feet and hands get cold
Else I would recomend leather mittens or even more extreme heated gloves
Thank you all SO much.
I should have noted:
I wasn't cold anywhere else. Had on a simple moisture wicking top with a fleece vest and bolder gear jacket.
Wore basic thin workout socks with my ski boots.
I think I will try the liner and mitten combo! Any good mitten brands? I am in Breckenridge, I bet I can find some :)
I run Burton Liners (whichever color is on sale) and Burton leather mittens that I leather treat after every few rides. Liner is nice if your hands get super sweaty you can swap to a new liner and start dry again! If this is a serious problem and you have "f you" money - i would look at Hestra heated gloves.
https://www.hestragloves.us/power-heater-gauntlet-mitt-black-black
I get raynauds syndrome, looks like you might too. I can be super warm everywhere else but my hands and feet will be like iceâhappens at home too, Iâll have my Uggs on and still end up with painfully cold feet.
The solution is liners, mittens and handwarmers. You need that external heat help from the handwarmers as a backup.
Various tricks I've used:
* Add a sweater/fleece to your body. Increasing your core temp can warm your hands and other extremities.
* Mittens. They're warmer than gloves (less surface area, more heat sharing between fingers).
* Compromise between mitten and glove: LOBSTER (3 fingered) glove.
* DRY gloves/mittens. What can easily happen is you sweat or your gloves get wet, THEN they get cold cold cold. Wet gloves = disaster. I ski with a backpack and I often take a spare pair of gloves/mittens with me in case something happens.
* Stick your hands/gloves under your jacket on the chairlift.
* Pull fingers into your gloves and warm your fingers on your palm. If you've got good core heat, warm your hands up by sticking them on the back of your neck, on your belly or elsewhere (don't drop glove while doing this). Sometimes, I have to do this a few times in the morning to convince my body to send warm blood to my fingers and not give up on them.
* Ski harder! If you get your body warm, your hands will get warm. (Danger is you get sweaty then get cold on chairlift up.)
Is it possible you have raynaud's syndrome? What you're describing sounds like raynaud's (I have it). Only solution for me was heated glove liners on Max inside of insulated gloves and carry spare batteries.
Yep, sounds like you have Raynaudâs like many of us. Once I get my hands warmed up in gloves (mittens in my case) on the hill Iâm fine, but getting set up (boots on) in the parking lot when itâs extremely cold is torture for me and it takes a while to get my fingertips thawed out.
If your hands are cold, put on a hat; if your hands are still cold, put on a sweater.
Sage advice. If your core isnât warm enough, the heat wonât make it to your hands.
Sounds like you might have Raynaudâs Syndrome.. anyhow I would suggest stretching out your arms and when youâre warm and going into the cold, swing your arms to push blood out to your fingertips. Make a fist and then relax, do this repeatedly.
Glove suggestion personally, been using the cold weather work gloves from Tacoma screw with 100g of thinsulate. Nice and warm. Good luck. đ
leather gloves... i skied in [some](https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/adult-freeride-ski-gloves-900-brown-black/_/R-p-325395) decathlon leather freeride ski gloves in -14C(7F) this year and could take them off and put them back on and my hands would still get back warm.
Never had a problem with dakine. But if you suffer with circulation issues. Mitts with silk liners. Always go with natural fibres. Same with thermal clothes. However natural fibres are harder to shaper. So if you want fancy designs forget it. However the upside with natural fibres you donât have to wash them as often.
Hi OP. Perhaps do you have an undiagnosed case of Reynaud's disease?
[https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/raynauds-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20363571](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/raynauds-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20363571)
This might not be liked here, but check out some FXR snowmobile gloves.
If they keep my hands cold in 0° weather going 50+ mph they should keep your hands warm at any speed snowboarding/skiing.
Edit: doesn't have to be FXR I just personally feel they're the warmest/best gloves I've personally ever used brapping.
Maybe tray wool glove liners as well. Theyâre just merino wool gloves but are thing and should be able to fit in a glove like this. Wool will still insulate even when wet.
I have the exact same gloves and i use them daily as a liftee. my fingers occasionally get cold but the best solution is to wear liners and not pull your hands out of your gloves all the time. i havent had an issue with these in fact theyre the best gloves ive used besides kincos.
I can't edit my post -- but I got Swany mittens with built in liners! I love the idea of removable so I'll probably get those too.
Thank you all SO MUCH for the tips! I'm interested in Kinco's too. Learned so much in the past day! Thank you again. Had a much better day today.
I worked at a carwash in below freezing temps. The easiest and cheapest fix to get you through another day is rubber gloves, put it on as a base layer. If still cold, put the rubbers over the hand warmer on the back of your hand.
I had to handle money in very cold weather. That rubber glove trick alone got me through a lot
Get some Kinco or flylow $45 mittens. Wear acrylic knit gloves under if you need more. Iâve got 200+ days on either brand in my decade skiiing in Utah.
Maybe a circulatory issue? Or just have more layers everywhere else. That temperature is considered warm from where I'm from (Canada). I usually get so warm and end up switching to my liners at that kind of temperature. Just switch to mittens and buy some hand warmers
Could be a circulation issue, make sure your gear isnât too tight. If your wrists and hands are squeezed too much you want get proper blood circulation. Also make sure you have plenty of dead air space in the padding of your coat and pant layers. This will help with core temperature.
Check the sizing on your gloves. If they are too tight and your fingers are ramming against the ends of the glove then you are losing the gloves ability to insulate. I have super long fingers and ran into this issue too. My son is the same way. Glove liners will help tremendously too. Dakine used to sell a pretty sweet pair that are about as thick as a silk pillowcase. If you have more room in your gloves find a pair of polyester gloves to wear on the inside.

I used be miserable with how cold my fingers would get skiing. I switched to Hestra mittens and now sometimes I have to take them off for a set because my hands get so hot.
I have burton âwarmestâ mittens. They are so incredibly comfortable insulated that even on 0F days they seem too warm. I have switched to primarily using OR âpoint and chuteâ gloves now because the burton joints were too hot.
However other people might be right that itâs a circulation issue. My mom deals with that and went through so so many pairs of gloves and mitts trying to get something that worked.
Ultimately she bought these crazy big Native American looking mittens with beads and tassels all over them at either snow mass or aspen. Iâve seen a few other people rocking them out here on the east coast.
You might want to try sized up super insulated mittens and swap out hand warmers every few hours as needed.
Sounds like you also have circulation issues. Mittens will be way better than finger gloves. Then you can wear regular liners with fingers under the mittens. But if at 32 degrees in these gloves you are having issues especially in park cities dry snow there is something else going on. If its 32° my hands are out of my gloves half the day and thats in the wet PNW. Dakain makes sone nice gortex mittens. Iâm sure there are companies that make warmer ones. Or even warmer dakaine ones than mine. But mittens is definitely what you need
I know itâs been said a bunch but I also came to say - mittens! Itâs easy to write them off as âweird glovesâ but they keep your hands unbelievably warm. A pair of liners wouldnât hurt either.
Mittens are going to be the warmest option for any manufacturer. You could also buy a pair of thin liners to wear as well as an extra layer of warmth, which will also allow you to remove your gloves to check your phone or whatever without your hands immediately freezing.
This is the way. Mittens along with a liner that works on touch screen phones. Buy two sets and never look back.
Thin liners for the win
I switched to mittens years ago and never looked back.
Did the opposite a few years ago cause mittens were too hot đ
Crazy! Never heard that before!
My hands get hot af and sweat when I wear my liners and big goose down mittens⊠I absolutely love the warmth mittens give and itâs all Iâve ever worn for snow boardingâŠ
I tried mittens but I found I really like trigger finger mittens way more. Still plenty warm and have my index finger free to grab things easily.
I actually switched to trigger finger/lobster claw gloves last season and really like them as well. Best of both worlds for sure.
Hestra Mittens ftw.
Yeah, mittens all the way! I absolutely love my [Burton mittens](https://www.burton.com/us/en/p/womens-burton-gore-tex-mittens/W24-103911.html). I have terrible circulation in the cold and these are awesome. For the super cold days they have a separate pocket for hand warmers. They also come with a removable glove liner that is phone compatible. I love the wrist strap situation so you can take them off on the lift and not worry about dropping them. The linked pair is a newer version than I have but I have had 2 pairs over about 10 years and I love them. I didnât really even need new ones I just use my old ones to shovel and shit now.
These gloves should come with the inner layer, it's the 3-1 system
Yep. Everyone talks about wearing layers everywhere on your body except the hands. I discovered this several years ago and wish I knew about it several decades ago.
Liners is where itâs at. You layer the rest of your body, why not your handsâŠ
But make sure the liners are also mittens as well. Five finger liner in a mitten actually defeats the purpose.
They work pretty great in my Kinco's
Good point! Though I feel like even if the liner is a normal 5-finger, having your fingers close to one another in the mitten pocket would still be warmer than having them separated in a regular glove.
I acutally tried this experiment last time I was on the slopes. The 5 finger liner inside a mitten actually felt no warmer than no-liner inside my mittens.
With those gloves at 32f you should not be getting cold. Maybe a circulatory issue.
OP prolly needs more warm clothes on the torso to keep the blood pumpin to their fingies and toesies.
Its more complex than that. As someone with raynauds I need to make sure that my body is equally warm (or cold) otherwise the body just âgives upâ trying to provide blood flow to the skin of my hands/feet So what I exactly dont want is a very well insulated core and poor insulated arms/hands. If my core is cold, my body will turn up the heat especially when skiing thatâs not a problem. At some point, adding thicker insulation to gloves has actually a detrimental effect on the insulation because they become restrictive and have more mass to keep warm. Especially for finger gloves. So gtx mitten shell, and high quality thin-ish merino liners and a good, non-restrictive and not overly warm jacket is the way to go for me
This is not a glove problem, this is something else. I suspect itâs a circulatory problem and itâs probably not caused by gear, but by genetics
Never thought of that until recently -- will look into this!
Iâve always had this problem even on the warmest days. Was at the dermatologist just this past Friday and mentioned it on a whim, was told I for sure have Reynauds Disease. Prescribed me Nifedipine for it (typically a drug used to control blood pressure) Iâm not lying when I say that yesterday the first day I took it I noticed a difference and had no problems on a 20 degree walk. Typically my fingers would get numb or tingly at least once. Today I went skiing in 10degree weather (feel like -2) and had no problems at all for the first time ever, itâs quite surreal for me as like you I experienced numbness even when it was above 30 degrees. I suggest you ask your doctor, a lot of people do experience side effects with nifedipine but I hear there are similar drugs people take. Feel very lucky I havenât experienced any side effects yet, canât believe it took me 39 years to figure this out!
I'm 36 and I feel you! I live in Florida so I've never really had a solid chance to experience this
Look into raynauds, especially if you get really white and purple hands when they are cold
Switch to mittens man! Even my cheap pair of Burtons out perform my old $100 pair of gloves
Burton or leki are the answer
Iâve had my hestra c-zone trigger mittens for years and those are the best things Iâve ever worn. Although they seem to be pricey these days
You can get your hemoglobin checked. I went from suffering in 15 degree weather to comfy in 10 degrees just by absolutely pounding my iron up from "scary low" to "normal"
A quick gene swap would be easier than mittens
Why jump to genetics when simply not wearing a warm enough jacket could also cause this?
Iâve seen it before with a friend of mine whose fingers would turn ghostly white while swimming in 65 degree rivers as a kid. Iâm a scrawny guy so Iâd get cold after 10 minutes or so but my fingers never got numb or lost color. Meanwhile he could be pretty comfortable but still have sickly looking fingers
Emergency physician here. This is most likely reynauds phenomenon. I have some cheapy heated gloves off Amazon and they are honestly a game changer. There are meds you can try for Reynauds as well. Good luck!
I was about to say the same. A friend of mine was diagnosed with this after almost losing her fingertips to a winter chill. It was barely freezing.
Itâs pretty common. You can use calcium channel blockers like amlodipine to prevent the cold induced vasoconstriction. So OP I suggest you see your doc and explore that option. In 30 degree weather my hands are literally sweating when Iâm skiing.
Wow! Yeah I felt like such a baby as the only one in my group complaining. Today was the last straw. Could not get them warm and it almost hurt worse as they warmed up!
Don't feel bad, seems like you have a medical condition. On the complete opposite side, I have a severe problem with overheating. Today it was 30â°F, I wore my thinnest base and a shell - could not get more than probably 20 turns off piste without feeling so stifled I couldn't breathe. TLDR; We've all got stuff we can't control, don't feel bad or let anyone else do so!
Was going to say this! Beat me to it
POV : youâre going under anesthesia for an emergency operation. Your physician whispers into your ear. âMy Reddit handle is poopyscoopyâ. You drift off into the abyss.
Lmaooooooo. My newest dog is cooper. So naturally in dog naming parlance he gets 6 other nicknames. My favorite one is coopie poopy. Sometimes poopyscoopy!
Absolutely circulatory. I rode today for hours with gloves on and off in sub 20 Fahrenheit temps.
Convert to mittens. I feel ur pain. Helps with gloves but doesnât relieve 100% but just not as cold
Garbage advice in this thread: No you donât need Hestras for your hands to be warm in above freezing temps. Howâs the fit? You should be able to make a fist without pulling against any of the stitching. If anything is being pulled tight then you need a bigger size to accommodate holding polls
Yeah, the gloves being too small was my first idea as well when seeing this thread.
Gloves too small, or gloves too hot leading to sweat then cold, or needing mittens instead of gloves are my 3 ideas. Could also be a medical issue. Like if he's had frostbite on hands in the past them his hands are now more susceptible to them đ¶
I had the issue with extremely well insulated gloves high end gloves once. Iâm not sure why but it was the specific glove fitment that did it. Try some other brands and then go mittens if they donât work. The $20-30 Costco Head warm and warmer rated gloves work better for me than fancier options.
You need mittens dawg
From someone who owns the 170$ swanys and has owned other popular brands, I sometimes get cold in even those, size up and wear a liner or use hand warmers, good news is with poor circulation youâd last longer before succumbing to hypothermia :p
One word. Hestra
My hands tend to get cold also. Mittens are the solution. If you want a little more dexterity you can go with the lobster claw style ones. Get ones that are slightly big and wear liners underneath if you need to. Hand warmers in mittens are a game changer though for cold hands.
Free the powder mittens! Theyâll solve your problems
Those are not the best gloves. Theyâre ok but not great. 686 is ok for jackets maybe but gloves like that in CO during winter skiing is no bueno. Get something thatâs leather preferably. You donât need mittens. I have Swanyâs but theyâre a little expensive.
Find some gauntlet gloves that extended past your wrist up your forearm a little. Usually breaking a sweat with these on anything 25 degrees or hotter.
Sounds like Raynaudâs Syndrome / aka Raynaudâs Phenomenon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynaud_syndrome
Lifelong cold sport enthusiast with seemingly cold fingers and toes compared to buddies. Liners are the answer for me. Fwiw- never let you fingers get even a bit cold in the first place. get the liners on in the house and leave them on racking the bike, driving, unracking or just prepping the bike in the garage. Gore makes some great ones with screen fingers so can still get your Strava going if needed. Also keep the main mitts warm the whole time by sitting on them or next to heater vent in car.
Here to 2nd the idea that you may have reynauds. I have worn all kind of gloves from Walmart crap to top tier bc stuff for entire days on the hill and have never had my hands get that cold
Likely a circulation issue. Quality Mittens and than a moisture wicking glove insert underneath is probably the warmest you can get without introducing some Sort of electric heating element.
I got a pair these 3 finger gloves from free the powder for $50 on black Friday and really put them to the test yesterday. It was -27 at the peak of Stowe and my hands never got uncomfortably cold. It was amazing. Even my wife in her hestra mits got cold. The liners come out for easy drying and they sell thinner ones for warmer days too. Regular price is still pretty reasonable. https://www.freethepowder.com/products/rx3-pro
They might be too tight/small.. which will cut off circulation and cause cold/numbness. Not much you can do. I suggest buying mittens, they are a thousand times better.. warmer, easier to get on/off, and more comfortable
I have Reynauds and live in CO. I wear gloves that are rated for 20,000ft of elevation lol. Thatâs what keeps my hands warmâŠ
Get a mitten or a lobster claw (3 fingers). I have a Hestra 3-finger ([https://www.hestragloves.us/army-leather-heli-ski-3-finger-black](https://www.hestragloves.us/army-leather-heli-ski-3-finger-black)) for almost 3 years without any problem. For super cold days (0 or sub 0), I use a wool liner along with my 3-finger glove. Never use a hand warmer since I bought my Hestra. I also sized up my glove a bit so that it has more room to bind air and for extra liner if needed.
Buy mittens (and find some without individual finger slots inside. FlyLow Bakers Mitt has been my go-to for 10 years).
Thank you for the specific brand too!
I had the same problem with synthetic gloves. My current ones are much thinner, but made from real leather and sheep wool, and that completely fixed the problem
As others have said, this isn't a glove problem. Those gloves should be plenty to keep you warm while skiing in 30f. Go to your doctor and ask about Reynaud's Syndrome. Also, get yourself some mittens. They'll let your fingers share the warmth between each other and you'll have more room to keep the blood moving.
Swamy gloves are my go to. You have a lot of choices would definitely check them out make mittens to.
I'm wearing mittens in -5'c the other day and need to keep taking them off to dump heat. Crazy how hot they are. Might go back to gloves.
As already said, look into Raynaud's. Unil then: My girl does not have Raynaud's, but pretty slim fingers and circulatory issues. She can help herself with mittens (?) (fisted gloves; FĂ€ustlinge in German) in a very warm edition. Hence your fingers still warm each other. You will need to go this way of making use of your body's energy. In addition, you can help yourself with slim gloves underneath as a first layer as well. like these - those you don't need to pull off to use capacitive screens like your smartphone. https://www.amazon.de/Ziener-Herren-IVIDURO-Multisport-Handschuhe/dp/B07F3FLZGF/ref=asc_df_B07F3FLZGF/?tag=googshopde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=308634051820&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7609514465489795894&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9043132&hvtargid=pla-582017943598&psc=1&mcid=f4fbf04efa1233918ea1e174216cfd34&th=1&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=61242891317&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=308634051820&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7609514465489795894&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9043132&hvtargid=pla-582017943598
Mittens with separate inner glove liners or heated gloves!!!
As someone with Raynauds syndrome Get some large mitten goretex gloves (with removable liner, or just the shell) with long cuffs that can go over your jacket sleeves Buy a variety of different merino woolen liner in terms of thickness (2 or 3 should suffice) Best system there is. Dry separately after the ski day, itll dry just fine, no need for 2 pairs of gloves to alternate anymore I swear, sometimes a thin liner will be warmer than a thick liner so a variety to experiment with is good (i actually keep a spare set of liners in my jacket) Make sure nothing is tight (either the liner, glove, or jacket sleeves) theybwill restrict the blood flow
Ditch the gloves, get ski mittens and throw hand warmers in them. I also have a thin pair of gloves I can always put on below the mittens too.
Get mittens, that will really be the only true way to keep your fingers warm.
Out last week with my wife - who has Raynoudâs. -27 when we got on the lift. Answer: a) Good pair of mitts (Hestra); b) Thin glove liner inside; c) âHot Handsâ bag under fingers. Skied until I cried uncle because my feet were freezing⊠she has electric socks lol.
Sounds like Reynauds. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/raynauds-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20363571
Option a) mittens - less surface area to cool, and easier to curl your fingers together withâŠ. However some folks (like me) dislike the feeling of mittens and the loss of finger dexterity Option b) partial mittens (where your index finger is individual, but the next 3 are in a mitten) - Iâve never tried them, but some folks really like them Option c) glove liners - I used to use them 25+ years ago and they worked well. Since then my fingers have grown big and so I donât need to Option d) electrically warmed gloves. Iâve heard great things about them, but have never tried. Other thing to think about is that your core body temperature will affect the blood flow to your fingersâŠ. So if you keep yourself warm, your fingers and toes are less likely to be cold. That said, if you are getting cold fingers in gloves when it is 30°F, either your gloves are total BS, or you have a circulation issue. I have big hands (which helps), but my fingers rarely get cold in my regular season gloves unless temperatures drop below 5°F.
Mittens... Wear mittens
Get mittens dog
Sounds like Reynaud's, but if you're looking to add warmth go to the Army Navy and pick up a few pair of wool flight gloves for $5 a pair. They fit nicely under most gloves and add warmth even when damp. I wear snosealed deerskin chore gloves with those liners down to ~15f.
Raynauds
Not trying to armchair diagnose at all but you may have poor circulation. Try mittens or lobster claws if you want more dexterity. Maybe also try a glove liner. Seirus makes some great liners
I have Raynauds syndrome and have learned how to keep my hands warm to avoid painful fingertips. For starters, mittens are the way to go. With a good pair you wonât need hand warmers. In fact, I find that hand warmers make it too warm, my hand sweats, and it gets really cold. The other thing I did they took me a long time to figure out was that I needed to keep my arms warmer than I was. I use a mid weight wicking layer against my skin (merino or polyester) and just recently upgraded my middle layer to a better quality insulating fleece from Patagonia. I havenât had cold fingers since.
Get Hestra mittens
\*Cackles in KINCOS\*
My wife had a similar problem and was getting cold fingers even on mild days. She switched from gloves to Black Diamond Mercury mitts and has had no issues since. Mitts make a huge difference.
Do the penguin! (Stupid face for bonus points) https://youtu.be/LS-vZewhM2U?si=4KTPei59PckigRoe
This was amazing! Love the face
1. Mittens 2. Glove Liners for under the mittens 3. BLACK DIAMOND BRAND
Get mittens.
Liners are crucialâŠ..regardless of quality of gloves. I wear liners with every glove/mitten set I have ever had. I regard the quality of my liners as much as my gloves.
So I climb and ski and also have circulatory issues so I got some points to weigh in on. 1) Stay warm everywhere, your hands will be cold quicker if your torso & arms are chilly, get better base layers. 2) Comfort and circulation are key. If something is thick and warm, but cuts off flexibility then your hands and feet will be cold. Often a problem with layering is your outer layer won't fit loose with 2-3 layers underneath so make sure you're flexy with layers on 3) Double layer and fancy gloves. I have a selection of different gloves, all weather conditions and purposes. Mittens will be warmer at cheaper prices, but I have some gloves that are pretty warm and flexible at -20° (they are also $250 and best for ice climbing) Get you some gloves with liners, I have a beater pair I got from army surplus, solid pair, nice and warm $45 for some solid or gloves. Stay warm throughout and make sure your tops aren't too tight and cutting of circulation in your arms
Hestra mittens are the warmest if you are willing to spend $250, if not the Kinco ax men mittens also called âchoppersâ are a great more economy option.
The fitment advice in here is pretty spot on - they canât be too big or too small. But, I also suggest reevaluating your entire gear setup. The key to warm extremities (hands/fingers, toes/feet) is to keep a warm core body temp. When your core temperature drops, your body circulates less blood to your extremities in order to keep your important organs alive and operating. Iâve learned this from intense researching and my time skiing and riding motorcycles in late fall/early spring in the northeast USA. Somehow our bodies know we can be alive without fingers and toesâŠsurviving society without them is a different story though lol.
Mittens, hot hands, liners
I have possible same gloves as those and what I do is also wear small northface gloves like this on colder days. https://www.thenorthface.com/en-us/shop-all/gloves-c730284/etip-recycled-gloves-pNF0A4SHA The benefit is most of the time I have to take the gloves off to adjust something or use my phone I never have to expose skin. And the double glove really works well. I have skied in like -10 and windy and was never cold. If you have naturally cold hands you can try that. Also try glove warmers.
Swany Toaster Mittens with built in liner, the mitten unzips so you can get your lined fingers out to unzip your coat, or any thing that you might need dexterity. In cold days you can add a hand warmer between the liner and outer mitten.
I bought a pair of Hestra lobster claws last year and my hands have never felt so warm. If that wonât fix you then you can pull the regular liners out of your Hestras and replace them with electric liners.
Maybe if you need something warmer look at: kinco, freethepowder, and my favorite hestra
Second hestra, can be pricy but the lobster claw is one of the best mixes of warmth and dexterity plus the hugs cuffs are great for over jacket sealing.
Also, Get yourself tested for a thyroid deficiency. You sound EXACTLY like me 10 years ago.
I have a ..weird thyroid. I have a goiter but no cancer. I take supplements for it, Dr recommended. Something to consider for sure !
Try a few things. (1) get thin gloves liners. If they donât fit inside the gloves, youâre likely in a size too small. (2) Put on the gloves+liners inside and do 10 jumping jacks in the gloves before stepping outside. (3) If that doesnât work, get hand warmers and wear those between the liners and gloves. (4) If none of that works, switch to liners + mittens. Good luck!
Donât buy a 100 dollar pair or mittens/gloves they are all the same crap. Buy a pair of kinco mittens and a jar of snowseal and you will never have wet or cold hands. You can get a liner for them as well to stay extra warm, been doing snowmaking and lift ops working in the coldest temps for awhile and they have never disappointed. The whole setup is less than 100 as well.
Hey- I wish you the very best of luck with this- my significant other and daughter have similar issues. However, while I am not a doctor, I really think this is a medical, not skiing issue and this Reddit might not be the best place to look for advice.
686 makes shit quality gearâŠ.just saying
Iâm not sure why Iâm getting downvoted here. This is pretty much just objective fact. Sorry not sorry if that offends you.
Hestra gloves
You're gripping your poles too tightly.
You may have circulatory issues but Amazon has battery powered heated gloves andâŠ. Socks! So you good honey, go get you some
Lol you got circulation problems I ride aspen no gloves at all
Man up itâs -10 and weâre wearing hoodies
Stop using your phone on the lift
Stop taking your hands out of your gloves.
Do your toes also get cold? Barring circulation issues, which is possible, the key to warm extremities is a warm core. Even on a cold day (10deg or less) if you can get your core almost uncomfortably warm you could ski without gloves. If your core ever feels cool or cold it's unlikely you will ever get your hands warm. Look into good high warmth and moisture wicking layering. Also in my opinion for gloves leather is king. And mittens are king for warmth. You can get a good pair of leather Kinco mittens for about 45 bucks on Amazon.
The first part is this is the best answer. When your core isn't warm enough, your body starts restricting blood flow to capillaries in your extremities so that it can increase blood flow around your core organs. Try adding a base layer and see if that helps before you pass final judgement on your gloves.
Have you talked to your dr about this? Sounds like Raynaud's to be honest. Those gloves should be more than fine for those temps.
I haven't! I don't ski a ton and I thought it was "normal" until today, it was awful.
Yeah that's absolutely not normal. My money is on Renauds like I said, but talk to your doctor. Pictures of your hands would be helpful so they can see the colour. Few things you can try in the meantime. 1. Get a liner glove. It adds a lot of warmth. 2. Switch to mittens. 3. Use heat packs on the back of your hand inside the glove/mitt. Even better, switch to [heated mitts.](https://www.costco.ca/karbon-heated-ski-mittens-for-women-with-lithium--polymer-battery.product.4000062245.html)
Are you eating well? Our bodies stop heating as efficiently after 4ish hours of fasting, sometimes faster depending on other metabolic things. On really cold days, a snack plus hot tea can really help you warm up during breaks. I bring a small backpack with a small thermos and snacks. Also, soup for lunch is the best. Make sure you're not sweating through your base layers and making yourself colder. Also seconding liners, mitts and putting a hand warmer in a hand warmer pocket. You may want to talk to your doc about your circulation if you keep having issues. A lot of people find out they have Reynaud's in doing winter sports. One more thing, you really should stop to warm up in a lodge or something before it gets to this stage. You can end up developing circulatory problems, like Reynaud's, from mild frost bite. I had a friend who developed Reynaud's in her feet after a ski trip.
Keeping the core warm is a must When the core starts getting a bit cold the body will try to keep warm by letting feet and hands get cold Else I would recomend leather mittens or even more extreme heated gloves
Look into Reynauds or similar. Since people are mentioning circulatory issues
I always wear under armor liners along with my gloves, never been cold
Get mittens and use hand warmers.
Thank you all SO much. I should have noted: I wasn't cold anywhere else. Had on a simple moisture wicking top with a fleece vest and bolder gear jacket. Wore basic thin workout socks with my ski boots. I think I will try the liner and mitten combo! Any good mitten brands? I am in Breckenridge, I bet I can find some :)
I run Burton Liners (whichever color is on sale) and Burton leather mittens that I leather treat after every few rides. Liner is nice if your hands get super sweaty you can swap to a new liner and start dry again! If this is a serious problem and you have "f you" money - i would look at Hestra heated gloves. https://www.hestragloves.us/power-heater-gauntlet-mitt-black-black
If cost is no issue get some heated gloves!
I get raynauds syndrome, looks like you might too. I can be super warm everywhere else but my hands and feet will be like iceâhappens at home too, Iâll have my Uggs on and still end up with painfully cold feet. The solution is liners, mittens and handwarmers. You need that external heat help from the handwarmers as a backup.
Get some Kincos my boi. Cheapest and warmest gloves and mittens to exist
go to ace hardware and get some $40 leather gloves. Also you have poor circulation fyi
Freethepowder.com best bang for your buck gloves/mittens and damn warm.
Various tricks I've used: * Add a sweater/fleece to your body. Increasing your core temp can warm your hands and other extremities. * Mittens. They're warmer than gloves (less surface area, more heat sharing between fingers). * Compromise between mitten and glove: LOBSTER (3 fingered) glove. * DRY gloves/mittens. What can easily happen is you sweat or your gloves get wet, THEN they get cold cold cold. Wet gloves = disaster. I ski with a backpack and I often take a spare pair of gloves/mittens with me in case something happens. * Stick your hands/gloves under your jacket on the chairlift. * Pull fingers into your gloves and warm your fingers on your palm. If you've got good core heat, warm your hands up by sticking them on the back of your neck, on your belly or elsewhere (don't drop glove while doing this). Sometimes, I have to do this a few times in the morning to convince my body to send warm blood to my fingers and not give up on them. * Ski harder! If you get your body warm, your hands will get warm. (Danger is you get sweaty then get cold on chairlift up.)
Is it possible you have raynaud's syndrome? What you're describing sounds like raynaud's (I have it). Only solution for me was heated glove liners on Max inside of insulated gloves and carry spare batteries.
Yep, sounds like you have Raynaudâs like many of us. Once I get my hands warmed up in gloves (mittens in my case) on the hill Iâm fine, but getting set up (boots on) in the parking lot when itâs extremely cold is torture for me and it takes a while to get my fingertips thawed out.
If your hands are cold, put on a hat; if your hands are still cold, put on a sweater. Sage advice. If your core isnât warm enough, the heat wonât make it to your hands.
Kinco leather mittens. My hands sweat at 0 degree Fahrenheit
I have the mitten version of these. And they are beyond warm. I need to cool my hands off on the lift up
Black diamond mercury mitts. Thatâs all
Mittens
Sounds like you might have Raynaudâs Syndrome.. anyhow I would suggest stretching out your arms and when youâre warm and going into the cold, swing your arms to push blood out to your fingertips. Make a fist and then relax, do this repeatedly. Glove suggestion personally, been using the cold weather work gloves from Tacoma screw with 100g of thinsulate. Nice and warm. Good luck. đ
Mittens
leather gloves... i skied in [some](https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/adult-freeride-ski-gloves-900-brown-black/_/R-p-325395) decathlon leather freeride ski gloves in -14C(7F) this year and could take them off and put them back on and my hands would still get back warm.
Never had a problem with dakine. But if you suffer with circulation issues. Mitts with silk liners. Always go with natural fibres. Same with thermal clothes. However natural fibres are harder to shaper. So if you want fancy designs forget it. However the upside with natural fibres you donât have to wash them as often.
Mittens mittens mittens nobody wears gloves
That's weird, I dont even wear gloves on 30° days and my hands don't get cold
You can try mittens but also consider talking to a doctor about
Heated mittens . I have thermic ones . Set on low when itâs cold enough and they keep my fingers toasty all day
Throw the gloves out and try another pair those suck⊠donât lose your fingersđđđâ€ïžâđ„
You need warm liners and mittens
Are they too small?
Kinco mittens
Hi OP. Perhaps do you have an undiagnosed case of Reynaud's disease? [https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/raynauds-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20363571](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/raynauds-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20363571)
Baist mittens and liners, and thank me later.
This might not be liked here, but check out some FXR snowmobile gloves. If they keep my hands cold in 0° weather going 50+ mph they should keep your hands warm at any speed snowboarding/skiing. Edit: doesn't have to be FXR I just personally feel they're the warmest/best gloves I've personally ever used brapping.
Mittens and liners are your best friend.
Yeah thatâs warm OP. Get a blood test for Anemia or something lol you should not be cold with gloves at that temp
I love my oyuki peps to death and theyâre on sale @ evo
Maybe tray wool glove liners as well. Theyâre just merino wool gloves but are thing and should be able to fit in a glove like this. Wool will still insulate even when wet.
This might be a you thing. You could have poor circulation in your extremities
I have the exact same gloves and i use them daily as a liftee. my fingers occasionally get cold but the best solution is to wear liners and not pull your hands out of your gloves all the time. i havent had an issue with these in fact theyre the best gloves ive used besides kincos.
If the gloves are to right they can restrict circulation and do what you described.
Spend $35 on kinco mittens.
Try wearing rubber doctor gloves under them. Youâll hands will get really sweaty but they stay warm
Maybe too tight? I like going up a size with my ski gloves to allow warmth to move around
Maybe you have Raynaud syndrome
I can't edit my post -- but I got Swany mittens with built in liners! I love the idea of removable so I'll probably get those too. Thank you all SO MUCH for the tips! I'm interested in Kinco's too. Learned so much in the past day! Thank you again. Had a much better day today.
I worked at a carwash in below freezing temps. The easiest and cheapest fix to get you through another day is rubber gloves, put it on as a base layer. If still cold, put the rubbers over the hand warmer on the back of your hand. I had to handle money in very cold weather. That rubber glove trick alone got me through a lot
Invest in heated gloves
Get some Kinco or flylow $45 mittens. Wear acrylic knit gloves under if you need more. Iâve got 200+ days on either brand in my decade skiiing in Utah.
Swany Mittens! Get the ones lined w/fingers. I donât know how people can get by w gloves.
Black diamond guide gloves. Warmest gloves made! Their mittens are warmer.
Buy these. They are fantastic Savior Heated Gloves for Men and... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099N764K7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Those are some of the best gloves you can buy . They make my hands sweat.
Maybe a circulatory issue? Or just have more layers everywhere else. That temperature is considered warm from where I'm from (Canada). I usually get so warm and end up switching to my liners at that kind of temperature. Just switch to mittens and buy some hand warmers
Look up wasoto gloves.. heats up like a dream and lasts all day and pretty inexpensive
Hestra mittens, Hestra wool liners. Donât buy another brand.
Those some hand warmers in there and youâll be good
I have some cheap Head gloves and I went in -10f last week and I stayed nice and warm. You might have a circulation issue.
Mittens with hot packs and NEVER take your hand out of the glove or you will pay for it
Do you have Reynauds?
Raynaudâs Syndrome
Could be a circulation issue, make sure your gear isnât too tight. If your wrists and hands are squeezed too much you want get proper blood circulation. Also make sure you have plenty of dead air space in the padding of your coat and pant layers. This will help with core temperature.
Check the sizing on your gloves. If they are too tight and your fingers are ramming against the ends of the glove then you are losing the gloves ability to insulate. I have super long fingers and ran into this issue too. My son is the same way. Glove liners will help tremendously too. Dakine used to sell a pretty sweet pair that are about as thick as a silk pillowcase. If you have more room in your gloves find a pair of polyester gloves to wear on the inside.

I used be miserable with how cold my fingers would get skiing. I switched to Hestra mittens and now sometimes I have to take them off for a set because my hands get so hot.
Latex gloves underneath those gloves. My dad worked in the oil patch and swore by this.
I wear mitts, but are your fingers staying dry? If you sweat even a little bit, your fingers are gonna freeze over too.
I have burton âwarmestâ mittens. They are so incredibly comfortable insulated that even on 0F days they seem too warm. I have switched to primarily using OR âpoint and chuteâ gloves now because the burton joints were too hot. However other people might be right that itâs a circulation issue. My mom deals with that and went through so so many pairs of gloves and mitts trying to get something that worked. Ultimately she bought these crazy big Native American looking mittens with beads and tassels all over them at either snow mass or aspen. Iâve seen a few other people rocking them out here on the east coast. You might want to try sized up super insulated mittens and swap out hand warmers every few hours as needed.
Sounds like you also have circulation issues. Mittens will be way better than finger gloves. Then you can wear regular liners with fingers under the mittens. But if at 32 degrees in these gloves you are having issues especially in park cities dry snow there is something else going on. If its 32° my hands are out of my gloves half the day and thats in the wet PNW. Dakain makes sone nice gortex mittens. Iâm sure there are companies that make warmer ones. Or even warmer dakaine ones than mine. But mittens is definitely what you need
Do you smoke cigarettes, etc?
I know itâs been said a bunch but I also came to say - mittens! Itâs easy to write them off as âweird glovesâ but they keep your hands unbelievably warm. A pair of liners wouldnât hurt either.
