Raynauds tip

I have a great tip for raynauds sufferers. Wear the very thin vinyl gloves under your chosen cold weather gloves. They actually keep your hand so warm. Even if you are forced to take your thick outdoor gloves off the vinyl gloves retain the warmth until you can get your thick ones back on!!

Hope this helps someone.

Don't they make your hands sweat though?

Yes a bit. Would rather that than cold painful hands though

It's just that when I wear the gloves for dish washing...my hands sweat but it is like a cold sweat...weird! So are vinyl gloves different from the Marigold type gloves...I bought the fleece lined ones but still got same cold sweat from wearing them?

Yes they are different to the maroligokds. You should try wearing the thin cotton gloves under your washing up gloves. They are usually used for say overnight when you have moisturised your hands.

I use these too, especially indoors first thing in the morning. They are great, but I accidentally got blue ones last time and they look a bit sinister!
