Another Heated Glove post

Hi,

I'm after some rechargeable heated gloves and wondered if any of you had any recommendations?

Thought I'd take a look while sales are on.

I was diagnosed with (they think) primary Raynauds around 18 months ago.

I read a few old post/recommendations but found some companies are no longer active or items have been discontinued.

I'm looking for a pair for the winter and a holiday to Finland. I might be mad going to colder climates but always been a dream to hopefully see the northern lights. Like all all of you winters aren't fun but decided to go, it seems Raynauds can progress. Thought I'd go now before it's too painful, 'Im already feeling it.

Try these are gloves (best used with an outer glove - I take a few of varying thicknesses, all of them wind-proof not wool). I recommend- they're robust.If you have small hands you might be tempted by these: blazewear.com/our-gear/glov... but don't the batteries don't switch on/off the same way and are awkward with numb fingers.

I agree about hot rocks. For more 'respectable' times like in a restaurant, I wear a pair of thin silver gloves and have a hot rock in each pocket - slip my hands out like a normal person to eat, then tuck them away again to warm through between courses.

Hi, Just spotted your post and I’ve suffered from raynauds since I was a teenager although it’s secondary to my scleroderma. I suffer throughout the year and the only respite I have is when there is a rise in temperature!

I have tried everything over the years and for the ultimate warmth are my heated gloves!

My daughter bought them for me a few years ago and they are literally live savers. There are three heat settings and the batteries, which are quite slim, slip into the wrist section. Yes they are more bulky than ordinary ones but I am intolerant of wool and silver gloves have done nothing for me over the years.

I am away from home until late this e y it if you would like me to give you more details let me know.

If you are paying the money to travel to see the Northern lights I think they would be a wonderful investment 🥰

Thank you Kimmo,I'm travelling to Finland early March. I was considering recharharable heated gloves or Liner gloves and maybe Ski/waterproof ones over the top. I don't care if my hands look huge, warm is more appealing.

I can still use the heated ones in the uk or elsewhere.

I was diagnosed about 18 months ago. I have another condition (An MPN, it'spretty rare) which can also cause tingling hands and feet as it effects my circulation. The Rheumatologist thinks I have primary Raynauds but been ask to keep an eye on an symptoms. Both consultants have asked me to do this.
