Cure for cold hands?

[lw24]

Hi all,

The winter months are rolling in, and things are starting to get cold, which leads me to my question...

How do you keep your hands warm without comprimising their practicality?

I mean, I could wear woolen gloves, but I wouldn't be able to screw on filters or change eyepieces very easily.

Hope you can help!

iv given these a go

Zippo Hand Warmer Brand New In Box **LOWEST UK SELLER** | eBay

ok theres only one but u can keep it in your gloves (i found the finger hole ones great) there isnt a off switch though, it goes off when it runs out of fuel, but are alot better than the reactive gel and metal coin ones

fingerless mitts should be good if the cold bothers you

I wear a woollen full glove on left hand and fingerless glove on right hand (reverse if you're left handed). Got several pairs of each from the market for £2/pr.

Then you can get those "snap-a-coin" hand warmers from camping shops and stuff one in each glove as required (I rarely use 'em). Just need a bit of hot breath in the exposed fingertips occasionaly or stuff 'em in a warm pocket for five mins

I haven't tried these but I've read others in astronomy like them. While still gloves, the fabric could be thinner with heating elements allowing still being able to handle eyepieces, etc.

At work we have gloves with the index finger and thumb exposed to use hand held data capture units, think they are called 'mechanics gloves'.

Find that simply getting my hands back in the pockets as much as possible is pretty good. The coat/jacket is a good one and well padded. I think most people simply get used to leaving their hands out in case they might need them so they get too cold.

Sort of: If not in use then stuff them in a pocket.

I have a pair of Thinsulate finger less gloves with the fold over mitt.

Fold the the mitt to back to change eyepieces etc...Then put back to view.

Also have several reusable gel pocket hand warmers to slip in my gloves.

Easy to recharge:) Place in boiling water for 5 mins.
