Hi everyone
My wife suffers from cold extremeties - we've bought boot warmers for her feet but would like your advice on the best warmest gloves/mits. She has some with pouches on the front into which she puts the chemical warmers. Unfortunately, chemical warmers seem to depend on having oxygen to heat them up, so as soon as you zip them in, the supply is cut off and they fail to work! As soon as you take them out they warm up just fine. Zip them back in again and they go cold pretty quick.
Anyone have any ideas, please?

My Mrs uses feet warmers and she has never had a problem with them not working once the boot goes on :shock:

Hestra gloves have been keeping my hands exceptionally warm for a while now. They do mitts as well! Also try those silk glove liners you can wear inside your gloves when it is particularly warm :thumbup:
Edit: I have just been checking out their website, they do gloves with a rechargeable heating system too!

You can also get silk liners (for feet and hands)which are supposed to help keep you exrta warm on the coldest of days.

Thanks folks, I'll check out those links - just to clarify her feet are warm as toast - she has the Therm-ic boot warmers - it's her hands we need to sort - I'll check the heated mits and other suggestions - they could be good!

Not the first place you might expect to find something like heated gloves, so take a look at Maplin, and especially at the price!

Heated boots are ace, one of my best buys ever. Warning, be careful when old lifts come round from behind (ie. ones that don't slow down) because it can break the battery packs ending in a costly fix :(
