How to keep your hands warm

Scottwax · 12-05-02, 07:26

I will have to call the pool guy I bought them from to find out exactly where he got them, but the gloves are neoprene and I wear the knit gloves underneath. My hands still get cold after a while and I loose some sensation, but without them in near freezing weather, I have to stop every 2-3 minutes to warm my hands. I can go 30 minutes with these babies on!

I have some neoprene gloes just like that but I don't wear any glove underneath. It doesn't get that cold here

32 when I started this morning and it is supposed to be in the upper 20's tomorrow morning.

I hate winter more and more every year. I honestly despise cold weather.

I'll be detailing this Saturday and it will be about 0-1 degree celsius (about 32-34F)

Im almost afraid to put the wax on

What I do is get some thin winter gloves and put some large size disposable clear gloves over them. So I am warm and protected from water

Scott,

I wondered if you were out yesterday morning. This morning was even worse...26. Guys from up North, don't laugh. That's cold for us poor boys from Texas.

Scott, did you see an earlier post regarding Sealskinz gloves available from Cablela's? You might not have a need for the glove liners providing a bit more dexterity. Can't say from experience, but just from the catalog description.

These temperatures are Celsius, right. Aren't Dallas/Fort Worth suburbs of Arlington? No way it can be 32 degrees fahrenheit.

By the way, 32 is cold for washing cars anywhere, not just for the poor boys from Texas.

Got a link for those gloves?

I was out this morning. I had 3 to wash, 2 to wash and wax, so I had to start by 9 am when it was right at 32 degrees. Warmed up nicely enough that I was in a t-shirt by afternoon...probably low 50s with sunshine.

scott check glove liners at ski equiment retailers or mt climbing sites like north face or any mountain quality thin linergloves will be better than cotton knit

I prefer cold to the hot summers we have... Hmmmm be cold or be soaking wet, all sticky with a headache. Such a difficult choice...

My truck's temp thing was reading 38 degrees today. Windchill was like 29 I think? I was very tempted to wear shorts this afternoon

I much prefer the heat. I would much rather sweat and be able to quickly dry a car than freeze and take 10 towels and 30 minutes to dry a car because water doesn't evaporate well at low temps. I'll take 100 degrees over 40 degrees anyday...along with the 14 hours of sunshine.

Alrighty, Guess you need to move down here and I need to move to like Denver.

I just picked up these Neoprene gloves, haven't tried them in cold water yet. Used them yesterday when I was shovelling snow, seemed to keep my hands warm. They also have an elbow high version.
