Outdoor protective wear

[Dawnymat]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend any gloves to wear when working outdoors. I'm a teaching assistant with rheumatoid arthritis and have to work outside for a big part of the day. I wear splints for support indoors. I need something that keeps my hands really warm but also gives support. Any recommendations welcome 😊

I have lots of different cloves but the ones that are most helpful are my driving gloves that fit snugly​ and don't restrict my movement if it's cold i just put other gloves on top

I've not needed my gloves this past winter because my hands have been unusually warm, not inflammation warm just warm. I do have two pairs which keep them snuggly though when needed, a sports fleece pair & silk lined leather pair. I can't say either are particularly supportive though the leather ones are less forgiving if you understand, my fingers don't bend as easily in them compared with the fleece ones.

I'm not sure how helpful this is given you're looking for support as well but I can recommend both the types I have.

The right fingerless gloves are a godsend for me as I get bother with hands and always cold I usually wear a pair on top if it's cold

Has anyone tried thermoskin gloves?

Look on Amazon......there are lots of heated gloves on that site.

But don't do what I did...buy a pair you plug into the electricity . VERY long extension lead out to the playground!

But they do have some battery heated ones which might help!

Have a selection of gloves that are heated by rechargeable batteries, these are very good in very cold weather.
