Do silk lining gloves actually help with cold fingers?
I wear gloves (yes, I know mittens are warmer but I cant get on with them) and find that I get cold fingers when it is really cold & I am still - say on a chair lift when windchill is blowing to -15C. Do silk lining gloves actually make a difference? :roll:

Go to bed you naughty boy! :evil:
I find silk liners very effective but others don't (previous thread).
Decent gloves are the most important and no drafts between glove and jacket but liners keep the pinkies warm when it is very cold.
Look forward to hearing about VT when you get back.

Will look for thread....
I have great gloves with no drafty parts. But sometimes the cold just seeps through - I sometimes get the white finger syndrome when holding a beer :shock:
That's how bad it can be!
Cheers, you have a good one too!! :D

Charcoal hand warmers - place them on the top/back of hand. I have some gloves with a zippered compartment to hold a charcoal warmer http://www.snowshack.com/detail/SNW+SW-40252+S_Swany+Womens+X-Change+II+Glove+Black (though I got them at TJMaxx for about $25). There are some very good leather ski mittens around that don't feel too bulky (http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Reusch-Leather-Ski-Racing-Noram-Fingerless-Mittens-/260690386111).
because I'm so inclined .....

I have Reynauds where your extremities lose circulation easily and my fingers go white and "dead", I find that a combination of decent gloves plus liners help. I am trying mittens for the first time this year so will see how I get on with those!!
Up there for thinking, down there for skiing...

That's the name!! I have that. I go on Saturday will have to get them in resort if I am struggling. Don't think it is going to be all that cold though. Famous last words...
