Best gloves for Raynauds?

Hi, I've been diagnosed with Primary Raynauds for 2 years now and my current woolly gloves don't seem to be preventing attacks very well.

Any suggestions for good gloves? (Fingerless gloves have never worked for me)

    nylon blocks wind.

    wool, especially lamb's wool holds heat in.

    with Raynaud's, we do not generate heat when our vessels constrict.

    You might consider those heat packs you just hit on a hard surface and insert into the palm area.

    Hi, Someone recommended silk gloves under my thermal gloves and it does work. You have to be careful with handling items from your freezer, the change in temperatures has the worst effect on me.
