I suffer with poor circulation in my fingers when it's really cold and wondered if anyone had tried using handwarmers (Aldi have some - some sort of gel that you activate). Anyone know if it's worthwhile buying some? Last yearmy hands were quite painful at times - particularly while on the lifts
Hi, I tried some in Canada as my hands were so painfull and they were great! Got them off Ebay, and the same one's are selling on Ebay now, which will be much cheaper than buying them there. Also mittens tend to keep your hands warmer than gloves which is why I have both.
they do work well and last ages, problem is reactivating them once spend, you need to boil them in a pan of water for about 5 mins till they turn back to gell, so unless you bought a load of them, nt sure how you would do this to be honest..
A good idea is to wear gloves like your clothes. By this i mean layers. I have a pair of thin inners and find this helps very much when i am in the cold. Last year we were in -35 to -40 conditions at times and my hands were ok! I also have good gloves, but without the inners it did get cold! Also having a spare pair of gloves that you can change halfway though the day when the others are wet and cold also helps!!
Buy the disposable ones. They last for about ten hours and are not very bulky (unlike the aldi ones).
You can get the disposable ones from any good outdoor shop either on the high street or the internet.
Invest in some gloves that have the pouch on the back of the gloves for putting the heat packs in. TK Max have been stocking Tresspass gloves for £12.99.
