Hi brains trust, I'm looking to buy a warm and wind resistant pair of gloves.
They need to be super warm but functional to use throughout the day during regular activities (computer work, walking outdoors etc - for a person who has Raynaud's).
Any suggestions?
I use 'arthritis gloves'. Get from aliexpress, temu, amazon.
They have the fingertips open so I can do my computer work, drive and pretty much anything else.
Theres a version with grippy dots or none. I prefer the grippy.
I suffer from Raynaud's too, so can feel your pain! I found any kind of arthritis/compression type gloves only made it worse, given that they restrict your already restricted blood vessels. I bought a pair of polar fleece gloves from Amazon a few years ago (link below), and they've been great. I also own a pair of Heat Holders gloves, but they're big and bulky, so I only use them for cycling. I'll be following this post though, since I'm always looking for ways to make life easier. š

Edited to add: I've never found long-fingered gloves that are good for typing. I tried a bunch of different ones, but ended up having to use knitted fingerless gloves when doing computer work.
Get gloves with just the thumb and index fingerpads exposed, no point having 10 cold fingers when you can get away with 1 or 2: https://amzn.asia/d/7QAudaG
Heat Holders thermal gloves.
They are very warm when we go camping at 0-4C in the morning.
I bought 4 years ago at Rebel sale for $7.50 (Covid clearance posted on here), but they are around $20 now (not sure if quality has changed so check reviews).
I get that as well and haven't found any gloves that are thin enough for tasks requiring dexterity but warm enough to prevent issues. Finglerless gloves are useless as it leaves the part that needs the most warmth open. Only thing I've found that works is keeping the room temp reasonable. I've been keeping the temp to at least 18 and so far this season I haven't had an outbreak.
The warmer the glove the thicker the glove and the less useful it is for fine motor skills like computer
Best bet is probably some merino wool liner gloves with touch screen capabilities (eg although a bit pricey gloves and a pair of cheap outdoor gloves (I think Aldi have them on sale this weekend) - pull the outdoor gloves on and over the merino gloves when you go outside
Other option of course is fingerless gloves.
