How to keep your hands warm in the cold temperatures

A big challenge in the wintertime in the cold temperatures is trying to keep your hands warm. First, we are going to look at why your hands become cold. Then how to prevent it. Also, 8 tips to help to warm them up. And my favorite layering system has worked very well for many years.

I've found wool glove layers to be the greatest form of heat retention and moisture mitigation for long term use out in the cold.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Thanks for sharing! Much appreciated!

[@darlenerothenay6251]

I also found wool socks and layers perfect for me, for the same reasons. Paired with other fabrics, layering becomes much more efficient.

[@kimberlymcclintock-walla3528]

The wristies work on the same principle as the neck gaiter by keeping the pulse points (areas where arteries are closest to the skin surface) warm. The opposite works for cooling the body in extreme heat. Placing cool wet cloths at neck and other arterial pulse points help to cool the body faster.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Thank you for sharing that Kimberly. Good stuff.

[@wisenber]

I flyfish in the winter around here. You need the exposed fingers to work a flyline. I put a handwarmer on the inside of my wrist inside one of those wristies. The warmer warms the blood flowing through your wrist into your fingers. My waders have handwarmer pockets in front. I'll have another handwarmer in there for spot warming. It's important to monitor your hands. You don't want them to get too cold before being able to do anything to warm them up.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Flyfishing opens up next month. I can't wait. One of my favorite things to do. Thank you wisenber for sharing that. Good stuff!

[@smellslikebeans]

I got a pair of trigger mittens from an army surplus. They have a leather palm, a slot for hot hands, and have a slot to put a solo finger into for your trigger. Under that I usually have a pair of thinsulate gloves for moisture wicking. Great combo for hunting.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

I have used a pair of wool mittens with a trigger finger. But no leather palm or a slot for a hand warmer. They sound like they would be great for hunting. Keep your hand nice and toasty. Thank you for sharing that Chris.

[@nathansharp3193]

Good tips! Another great tip is to always store your gloves inside your coat, or to sit on them if you take them off to eat. If you sit on them, not only will your rear end stay a little more warm and comfy, but the gloves will not be freezing cold when you put them back on.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

That is a good idea Nathan. Thank you for sharing that.

I used to do a good deal of January hiking in the Smoky Mountains. It was cold and windy, so proper layering was crucial since the lower elevation was often free of snow, but as you ascended, you could run into fresh snowfall, often nearly up to your crotch. Some smart layering was important! I used to get a lot of deals with a little sleuthing online. For example, I picked up some pre-owned 100% cashmere turtleneck sweaters for under $25.00. Cashmere is lightweight and very warm, making a great first layer. I also found a clearance pair of cashmere opera length gloves for under $20.00 at Marshall’s at the end of winter clearance sale. These were perfect first layer for my hands since the long length covered ever part of my hands, clear up to my elbow. Since I know how to knit, I made special wristlets as well, using natural fibers that would breath yet help in the layering system. I would often see people trying to hike in jeans, which is dangerous since if they get wet, they stay wet and freeze solid. I also carried some lightweight fleece lined stretch pants, extra gloves and a lightweight added sweater. I also knit myself a pair of thrummed mittens, using a good quality wool, and purchased top quality wool from a neighboring alpaca farm. I also made sure to have a waterproof outer layer in case I ran into rain. Hand warmers were a must! Winter hiking is exhilarating but requires some extra planning. Much of my gear was pre-owned but of excellent quality at a real savings. Think outside the box but be prepared for the worst. It happened to me one year during a hike to Mount Le Conte in the Smokies. A member slipped on ice and broke her ankle. By the time help arrived and we hiked out, it was midnight! The extra planning may have possibly saved me from at the very least, hypothermia.

[@guitarhiker4449]

Spot on man!! Refreshing i can really tell you been out in the cold as much as i have. Agree with everything you said! One thing i have also noticed is some companies have really recognized the need for layering certain materials and they will take some of the guess work out for ya! For instance i love the clam ice armour edge gloves! Great fit and designed in layers. A whicking layer, insulation layer, waterproofing layer and durable outter all in one glove! Columbia has done similar with their omni heat technology. Warmth, lightweight, sweat wicking, great fit! Their are alot of times i like fingerless gloves too as you have shown here. They all have their time and place. I usually have numerous pairs of gloves for different applications. For instance. A non insulated work gloves plus i have insulated work gloves. I have my fingerless gloves plus my heavier duty colder weather gloves and mittens. Some is personal preference. Fit also being very important when selecting gloves. Their isn't too many do it all gloves out there but you may get lucky and find one or two, but in most cases you kinda need several. Same goes for your jackets/parkas, layering systems, winter hats, boots, etc... One thing i found in most cases too is you usually get what you pay for. Don't skimp on your gear if you can afford it. Stay safe!! Hike on!!

[@parnold-mora8924]

Thanks again for sharing the great info. I totally agree with you regarding the use of wristiies. Last spring I purchased a pair of handmade alpaca wool wristiies and to my surprise my fingers rarely got cold. Layering the wristiies with fleece gloves and finally with water resistant mittens gets me comfortable down into the minus zero temps. My greatest problem is losing a glove when I temporarily tuck them away in a coat pocket. I learned to stuff the gloves into a vertical side pocket and zip them up but that doesn't always work when you have really bulky mittens. Got any other suggestions that work well for you?

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

This may sound insignificant. I now will only use a jacket that has deep pockets and a zipper. The jacket that I am wearing has let alone deep side packets. But 2 deep chest pockets with zippers and one inside. They are so deep that I rarely zip them ( as you can see in some of the scenes of the videos ) and I cram a lot of stuff in them. And so far. Nothing has ever fallen out. Thank you for watching and your comment P Arnold-Mora. Ireally appreciate it.

Thanks for another informative video Marine - I have never tried the wristie and handwarmer method, but I will now, excellent tip. For really wet and snowy conditions I like to use a large traditional unlined deerskin chopper mitten baked in sno-seal in a warm oven a couple times combined with a fleece glove liner or wool or fleece mitten liner - the baked in sno-seal is an amazingly effective waterproofer, though like you, for the extreme cold I'm a gore-tex or other breathable membrane user.

[@cougarmeat8803]

“… chemical hand warmers have kept people warm for decades.” Gee, mine only last five to six hours.😅😅😅 One consideration I was waiting to hear was the suggestion to bring more than one pair of liners, gloves or mittens. Liners are light and not bulky. And winter time, with a pulk, is not the time I’m concerned about ultralight (gear) sensitivities. Okay here’s a fun story. As a Marine with a wilderness playground, i hope you see the humor. So I’m out beyond a XC skiing parking area (trailhead) looking for a supposed trail/route to a XC shelter. The normal access, from another parking lot several miles up the road is about a 5 mile ski in. But from the lot I am in, if I use my map and compass, I can snowshoe up a steep ridge and be there in about 30 minutes. So I’m holding my compass in my new glittens (glove/mitten - like you showed with a finger cover that can be flipped open). But something is wrong. North isn’t where it’s supposed to be. You know how you said yours folded back and were held by Velcro. That’s old technology. We can’t have that. Some genius in the marketing department figured they replace the Velcro “hold back” with tiny magnets. I’m sure glad I discovered that in the relative safety of the parking area. I took off the glittens, stashed them deep in the pack, and used my liners and gauntlet mittens, and snowshoed up the ridge to the shelter. Remember what I said about having more than one set of gloves/liners/mittens. 😊

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

That is a great story. A lot of people may have not figured that out. A would have been going in circles for days. Thank you cougarmeat for sharing that. Good info!

[@bwillan]

I pretty much do as you do, less the wristies. I use a liner glove then a leather work glove for doing camp chores. For everything else, it's the liner glove with a pair of mitts. I don't bother with chemical hand warmers (I'm too cheap). I also find that those wool flip top mitts don't work very well compared to a proper mitt. As with all things winter camping, in order be comfortable, one needs to stay dry. So change out your glove liners a couple times a day and make sure you dry your all of your insulating clothing out.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

I have been on a few winter trips when the temperatures should of been sub-zero. But instead it rained. Staying dry from the rain was no problem. But staying dry from sweating is always a problem in the winter. And that is something that has to be always watched. Especially your clothing. You so right bwillan. Layering from top to bottom is very important.

[@glorgau]

For me, one of the big items with gloves is make sure that you don't have open skin - like around your wrist - exposed directly to the cold air. Have the gloves tucked under the sleeves of your jacket.

Can hand warmers be reused...? Also I'm assuming I should put the handwarmer on top of my hands because gripping the snowblower handles "could" damaged the hand warmers...? Very good video... Thank you John Alberta Canada .

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

If you look at your hands and wrist. You will see that your veins, that carry the warm blood to keep your hands warm are on the top of your hands and on the bottom of your wrist. So with that being said. Keeping your wrist protected with clothing like Wristies. ( you can cut out a old wool sock and make one ). If you use handwarmers on the top of your hands. Make sure you have a piece of material between your skin and the handwarmer. When touching something cold like steel in the extreme cold temperatures. Leather on the outside of your gloves or mittens with good insolation between the leather and your hands work great. Of course, mitten are warmer than gloves. I don't know anything about reusing handwarmers. The ones that I use. Will last 10 to 12 hours. Then I replace them with new ones. Thank you John from beautiful Alberta Canada, for watching.

Love this vid. In your opinion, are the Military OD green wool glove liners as effective as the fleece liners? I have a few pair of the wool liners that are still in great shape.

[@rageoid]

Kimberly - I use the military liners, as glove and mitten liners, in milder cold and/or wet conditions sometimes - for colder conditions (below 15 F) I prefer quality fleece, better insulator in my opinion, warmer. Those split fleece mitten liners are handy, the ones that form a mitten hood over your fingers and open up using velcro to allow finger use when required, without removing the mitten liner.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

I believe that wool is the best material for the cold. Those wool liners will work great. One thing that makes wool so great, is that if they where to get wet. They will still retain heat. Fleece will some what. But not like wool. Thank you for watching and your question Kimberly.

[@preacher1776]

Funny thing. I've had bad luck with hand warmers. They work on iron oxidation to produce the heat. That means they need airflow to start the oxidation. If you bury your hand warmers deep, or even semi-deep, in your cold weather gear, the oxidation is retarded and can't meet needed warmth for extremities. I think they're good, but, you better test them before you need them.

Very well said! When ever one is out in the extreme cold temperatures. They should never count on them for warmth. If they do work. Well than that is a bonus. When they do work. They are good to have. Especially for the hand and fingers. I am going to do a tutorial on them in a week or two. Please point out anything that missed. Thank you Brian so much for watching. I always appreciate it.

Yes they do need exposure to the oxygen in air to keep the chemical reaction going. I use mine when fishing kept in an outside flap top pocket an dive mf hand in occasionally for a quick warm.
