Anika replied to Jason Ward's discussion 'Can we talk winter hand solutions for people with poor circulation? My hands get cold!'"The rice handwarmers will create a lot of moisture especially in the beginning. You may find that your hands end up being colder in the end as a result."
"Put your mittens (not gloves) on before you go outside, not after. Once your hands start getting cold, they keep going that way. Then it takes longer to warm them back up again."
Joe Guzzardo replied to Jason Ward's discussion 'Can we talk winter hand solutions for people with poor circulation? My hands get cold!'"Hmmm, very good point. It's not a problem we like to discuss in public but its something that needs to be dealt with, nonetheless.

Apie (10.6) replied to Jason Ward's discussion 'Can we talk winter hand solutions for people with poor circulation? My hands get cold!'"I have serious cold hand and toe problems, ever since I was on the ski team in high school. Waterproof gloves are the warmest because they dont breathe."
Jason Ward replied to Jason Ward's discussion 'Can we talk winter hand solutions for people with poor circulation? My hands get cold!'"Glad to see this thread back! I have been mulling over a new year of cold hands and responding thus far by not riding as much.
