Mitigating Raynaud's: copper gloves any good?

Hi, I am new here. One-use chemical heat packs help keep my fingers warm when I am out in the cold, but I don't like cost and enviro impacts. Was wondering if anyone has tried "copper-laced" garments. I know copper bracelets are a scam, but metal is a good conductor, so in theory it ought to transport heat from my upper arms down to my fingers. Anybody tried/experienced this?

No input on the copper but I have rechargeable hand warmers I got off amazon. They work great and I just switch out recharging them and have had them for a long time. They are much warmer then the single use ones also.

I too have a rechargable one, recommended by my consultant, called hot rox, which works brilliantly!

The siver gloves are brilliant & light. You can use them in the house or double up inside another glove for outside.

I received my first 2 pairs from the hospital ( only allowed 2 per year!) But they seemed harder to get as time went by & other gloves were offered.

You can buy them as one of the other replies indicated.

Good Luck xx
