Hanneke Sep 2017 1:00pm, 6 Sep 2017 69,220 posts	0 Hanneke I have Raynauds too. Ivhave lobster gloves with inner gloves, I tried goretex overvmitts over winter gloves, but by far the best are the thickest Sealskin gloves they do! Water proof to a point, but nothing really is on a bike for prolonged periods of time, windproof and toasty, I still got cold hands in the lobster things!

larkim Sep 2017 3:44pm, 6 Sep 2017 2,671 posts	0 larkim When I wash the car or bike in cold weather I wear marigolds underneath the washing mitt that I use to keep my hands dry. Would cut down marigolds (good quality ones) be effective under water resistant gloves to maintain warmth?
larkim Sep 2017 3:46pm, 6 Sep 2017 2,672 posts	0 larkim Or even small latex workshop / surgical gloves?
Velociraptor Sep 2017 3:47pm, 6 Sep 2017 36,775 posts	0 Velociraptor I quite like surgical gloves under normal winter gloves for cycling in cold weather. Or snowboarding gloves.
