cold hands

[RedCanny]

I usually go with just light windproof, uninsulated mittens, even when running out in a Minnesota winter. I think mine were made by Hind.

Although my hands are often quite cold, when I'm running is when I have no problem keeping them warm. The dry part is the challenge: my hands sweat quite a bit when I'm exercising- so any sort of insulated mitten will end up too wet to keep my hands warm.

I find it hard to keep my hands warm when biking in the 20's F, but it seems easy to me to do miles of fitness walking in those temps and keep my hands warm. Biking you have to keep your hands out front into the wind grabbing your bars, and you CREATE wind chill factor of 20mph or more.
But walking briskly I stay nice and warm with just layering two or three good gloves on.
If it's really cold- like in the teens or twenties- I'll wear a wool glove liner, then a women's windproof or ski glove, then a large looser men's windproof insulated ski glove which slides easily over the other gloves. Nothing gets past that combo...unless I'm biking.
