Need help with cold hands while skiing.?
We go skiing every tuesday and after awhile my hands gets really cold. it feels like my hands and fingers are about to break. My gloves are brand new and these are it http://store.burton.com/Gloves/Mens/PRD_70520/Superpipe+Glove.jsp?bmUID=1203477951130
but they always tend to get cold, not matter what i do. Does anyone an idea. Could it be something with my body? They also turn red. This also doesn't happen to any of other friends skiing.
can you give me links of gloves that would be good?
There are a number of reasons why this could be happening.
1. Are they the correct size? If they are too tight, you could be compressing the insulating material too much and thus you are reducing the dead air space which keeps you warm.
2. Are they getting wet from the outside? Once saturated, even technical materials will lose a good bit of their insulating value.
3. Are they getting wet from the inside? Gore-Tex is supposed to be breathable, but sweat, dirt, and oils from your skin will block the pores of the material.
4. What else are you wearing? A hat certainly helps keep the rest of your body warm, but if you are wearing a cotton hoodie over a T-shirt, or a non-insulated jacket, your body is losing lots of heat. When your body starts to cool off, it will pull blood away from your hands and feet in an attempt to keep your core and vital organs warm.
Personally, I usually wear mittens. I wear a thin liner glove under a waterproof, uninsulated mitten shell. The liners are lightweight and windproof. If I need to take off my mittens to fix bindings, zippers, etc...I can do so without freezing my fingers off. The mitten shells create a large dead air space and keep my hands very toasty. If you are generally a "cold" person...this may be a better option than gloves.
