The warmest are of lobster claw type, made by SealSkinz. Keeping the wrists warm is essential, as this is the place where the cold really hits the hands.<br /><br />However, this winter we haven't had any really cold weather so far, the coldest has been about -10 °C, which isn't that cold at all. Also, rigorous walking makes blood circulate rather well, and thus short exposure to cold isn't a problem. In fact, one day when we had -4 °C and rather strong wind, I forgot the gloves home, and managed to take photographs quite well, occasionally warming the hands in jacket pockets.<br /><br />Another approach is to use layers. And then there are ice-fishing gloves etc. which could be useful. <br /><br />However, the feeling of cold seems to be somewhat dependent on each individual. Also, getting used to coldness means a lot. If there is a long cold period and you work outside, the body adapts to it.Juha Haatajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-56442239339564437212015-02-23T19:21:24.742+02:002015-02-23T19:21:24.742+02:00A question about gloves in the winter.

What gloves work for taking pictures with smaller digital cameras when it is cold out?<br />I'm missing lots of great pictures because it is balky to take off my glove and then my hand gets cold!<br />-- BrianPBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074508108366306067noreply@blogger.com
