Cold Hands Problem

I mate of mine suffers from cold hands, he bought some Hestra 3 finger gloves (halfway between glove and mitt) a couple of years ago and is delighted with them.

To "solve" cold hands and feet issue, you must understand and "see" big picture!

Keep hands and feet warm is having "warm blood" going to these areas. That means keeping core body zone warm first. No expensive gloves, heat packs etc,,will keep these zones warm if core body is cold!
There are a few strategies all skiers should apply.
1.Wear quality windproof ski wear (no jeans, etc,,,)
2.Think onions,,with layered approach
3.Close all vents, zippers, tears etc,,,, (I do not like jacket with zippered sleeves since cold air enters via zipper)
4.Place heat packs INSIDE jacket near chest. Not on gloves! It is better to have warm blood in shoulder, arm and hands.
5.Know some basic "moves" to circulate hot blood to hands! Watch racers before a ski race or while waiting to race. What do they do?
6. The major problem in reference to cold hands and feet is; inactivity. Move about ski!
7.Before going out,,,dress up and wait 15 minutes while body "heats up" inside!
8.Never drink to warm up!
9.Think keeping core body warm and blood will do rest!
10. As a final "solution",,take a sauna. Then dress up and go skiing! You will never have cold hands!

Keep a warm heart,,,,and the rest willcome!!!
