Winter Gloves

[fruitsalad]

I have Arthritis is both hands, and am finding it very difficult to choose a warm pair of gloves, I have been wearing one pair on top of the other cheap pairs admittedly, but my hands are still very cold in this weather, I was wondering if anyone had found a genuinely warm pair of gloves they could recommend, for dog walking etc.

[bookbinder]

Try a pair of mittens.

[emmie]

have you tried Amazon, lots of choice, or try cotton traders, not sure if they do gloves, but they do lots of warm clothing at this time of year. see if i can find you a link....

I will second the mittens, get them a little bit big then you can also wear a thinner pair of gloves inside.

Real leather ones. I had some imitation ones, my hands still cold..

[emmie]

Thank you for the ideas, and the link emmie, I'm going to order the Cotton Traders, thermal hat and gloves, see how I get on with those, reasonably priced as well.

You get gloves with batteries in them my mum had a pair as she to suffered with cold hands.

[emmie]

ok, they look nice, or if you are in any local market, look for thinsulate ski style gloves they are waterproof and warm as toast..

If you find the Cotton Trader gloves aren't to your liking, consider sheepskin gloves. I'm unsurprised that the Daily Wail's (reasonably) scientific testing gave a pair of sheepskin gloves their top marks

However I'm disappointed to see that they chose to test a £120 (Ugg) pair, rather than a brand that most of their readers could actually afford!

You can buy sheepskin gloves for under a tenner on eBay but they'd almost certainly be Chinese rubbish. For something far better (but nowhere near as dear as the Ugg gloves!), try a specialist company, such as Westmoreland Sheepskins:

Ski gloves will keep your hands warm and dry and need not be expensive https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/adult-ski-gloves-100-s8/_/R-p-170011?mc=8398722&c=BLACK They should also give you good grip.
Make sure any glove or mitten you buy is elasticated or fastens tightly some other way at the wrist to stop cold draughts and rain running in to the glove.

Lots of great ideas thanks guys, its difficult to choose now, I liked the idea of sheepskin mittens on Buen link, but unfortunately out of stock, so may also try the ski gloves on barry's link, as well as the cotton traders, a girl cant have to many pairs.

I’ve got two pair of sheepskin gloves. One pair is Ugg and the other is M&S. The Uggs are far superior to the M&S pair and even then, I don’t think my hands feels toasty enough in them.

[Vagus]

We both have Thinsulate gloves which do the job for us both, himself has very cold hands but these keep them nice and warm.
Maybe consider a thin pair of silk gloves underneath which is something himself used to do when he had his motorbike.

[eve1974]

I second the silk gloves underneath normal gloves.

[lady-janine]

Gloves inside sheepskin mittens might help.

[DTCwordfan]

anything two layered will work as it creates a barrier of warmth between - seaweed, bands of wrapped around the hands, and leather gloves work well in Cornwall.

[jennyjoan]

How do you lift your dog's business with the gloves on. I have loads of gloves but don't wear them for that reason.

Sheepskin mittens will keep your hands the warmest.
