Cold Weather Gloves?

[gatrapper]

Hey Y'all,

I had surgery on my right wrist 10 years ago. Ever since then my right hand in the winter gets crazy cold and extremely painful. I was out duck hunting a few days ago in 20 degree weather and my right hand got so cold and painful that it felt like someone was pulling off my fingernails.

Im in need of some great cold weather gloves. I have some heavy fleece ones and some other random gloves, but none of them can keep my hands warm.

Any recommendations?

For bowhunting when it gets cold( 0* to +20*), I wear Under Armour cold gear liner gloves under a pair of fleece gloves and my hands stay pretty warm. If it gets much colder I put a small chemical handwarmer in between the fleece glove & the liner. Using this set up, I can take the fleece glove off and still have my hand protected while I take a shot. I have actually worn this set without the handwarmer in temps as low as -10*. After about 2 hours in -5 to -10* temps (without handwarmer)my my fingers were starting to get chilly, but not uncomfortable. When it's that cold I keep my hands in my pockets as much as possible.

I don't know if you can keep your hand warm after the surgery. Most likely it's a circulation problem. I have the same problem with my feet. I screwed my back up a couple times and my feet stay cold.It got worse after I broke my back.I was told by a doctor that it is most likely a circulation problem.

I have a few things I have tried that work ok, I have been looking for a warmer glove the last year or sobut havent found one by itself that does it all, so I grab a good convertible glove where the thumb is covered and then I go to the military surplus store near me an get a wool glove liner and use that underneath the convertible. if it gets really cold you toss a hand warmer in the top of the convertible to keep hands warmer. you can flip the top for shooting if needed. I have used this in below 10 degrees with sub zero windchill and it works pretty well. I had to use this setup this year because of the Blood pressure meds I am on this year because of my illness earlier this year.

I cant stand anything using thinsulate as it doesnt live up to its billing on being able to "breathe" and the gloves get clamy too easily on the hike out to hunting locations

I received a Christmas present several years ago that solved the problem of cold hands completely for me, a camouflaged hand muff. It attaches with a buckle around your waist much like a fanny pack and has a pouch that you can put chemical handwarmer packets into. Wear a pair of comfortable light gloves and you are set for cold weather. 

Hope this helps.

This may sound a little different than most would answer but I have better luck keeping fingers warm by wearing a warmer jacket on my core. I normally have wind sheer fleece or parka on and wear fingerless gloves.

With your medical history ..I don't think any glove will work.. But a good muff will do the trick.You can put the cold hand in your good one.

I just shove my hands down my pants.       Nobody likes to hunt with me...

LMAO Pickle, thats what I have had to resort to at times

Try manzella brand. Also think about getting you a handwarmer chest pack. Chip it to you chest waders and keep your hands in it.
