Ans: cold hands

[jkrueger]

Wow, the other day I had to do work beyond my hands reponsiveness, couldn't feel them at all. After getting most of the designated work out of the way burning down felt real good. Got in the truck to warm up hands, everything else was OK, and as my hands began to warm up the pain was almost out of mind. I went over to our local rock and ice climbing outfitter and they gave me some linners made of the same supper thin outer wear they sold to me and am using. The liner is supper thin and fits under a cheap ugly glove.

Wow, my hands have not been cold since and I can even untie a knot in the thin trow bag line. Neat real neat.

They are made by Marmot, give 'em a try. (this is not an advertisment)

Unless I was putting my hands in the snow for an extended period of time, I can honestly say that has never happened to me before.

 

[Eagle1]

I have felt that before. Sometimes a cold raw day, in the beginning of the cold winter. I don't know your age, but how is your circulation?? That could be a answer.

Hey, you'll get there too someday, kiddo....

 

[Eagle1]

now that looks like a hot face,,,maybe we can put our hands on our cheeks,....face cheeks to warm up the fingers. Fingers can be warmed many ways, but I want to stay with AS alittle longer..

 

[NeTree]

LOL Joe...

Seriously, I have a pair of the gloves Jack is talking about. They work awesome.

Got mine at East Mountain Sports.

Has anyone experienced this? When I first start working, my fingers start to freeze. Then I'll warm them up from a muffler, and that's it... I'm good to go. They don't freeze anymore... It's like they need to get warm one time, then they can stay warm by themselves.

This happens two, sometimes three times a year!

When I take my yearly ski trip to co. I think were going to copper mountain this year. I use silk glove liners I get at sporting goods store. They work exellent, they cost around $7 pair.
I picked up a pair of atlas thermo climbing gloves from okitreedude, I like them. Have used a muffler before. My hands always get cold first then my feet, takes the fun out of stuff real quik.

Once it gets under 30 or so my hands freeze up pretty fast in the mornings. I usually just try to start working and they thaw out eventually. Nothing like grabbing those first few frozen branches and can't hardly feel them!
I don't like wearing gloves while climbing but sometimes wear the cheap glove liners until my hands warm up, what is this material called?

 

[Crofter]

I have a problem keeping hands warm. What I have to do is dress my body really warm, practically sweaty, before it will open the thermostat to the hands. Even as a kid I had cold hands and feet; perhaps everyone is not equal in that respect. I have seen some that could work barehanded doing mechanical work with hands wet with snow.

And how... but they were handy.

 

[Koa Man]

What are you guys talking about?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hey, go back to sunbathing, will ya!

If anyone is interested in reading the article that I wrote for Arborist News titled, Cold Weather Comfort, email me and I'll send a copy.

If your hands get cold first then get a flush of warmth you're putting your tissues at risk. The flush of warmth is a protection reaction of your body to hypothermia. If, for some reason, you don's stay warm after that flush, you're at greater risk of chilling your core. Keep warm and dry to begin with.

Wear synthetics no matter what they cost.

Wear synthetics no matter what they cost.

That's a fact, jack! My first 'lil tee shirt thingy cost me $30, short sleeved. That's pretty expensive for a work shirt, and I ain't quite formed an opinion about it, yet.

It's supposed to be the first layer against yur skin, right? Then, the rest of the clothes?

 

[xander9727]

I wear Atlas Therma Fit gloves. They are good to about 15 degrees. They were designed for use in freezer boxes. They don't get wet easily and even when they are they still keep your hands pretty warm.

 

[Stumper]

Tod, I like those gloves also but I like to have more than one pair so that there are dry ones available-if it warms up a bit they get wet from the inside out.

 

[xander9727]

I'm with you Justin........that's why I buy them by the dozen.

Tom refrain from same old posting guidelines violations. Thanks, this is your 15th warning. You mentioned a non sponsor when you were not asked and you mentioned your little forum. I am going to announce this publicly, so you will know this is the last and final warning. 16 and I am done with you. You are very helpful and nice but ignorant as hell. I can go back to warnings over 2 years ago.

Putting the synth layer against your skin is the best. It will transport your sweat away from your skin keeping you warmer. Going into the whole process of wicking takes too long. The dryer you stay the warmer you'll be.

Those Atlas gloves are great! I've been handing them out to the guys at work and they are very appreciative
