I've lived in cold weather for my entire life, but already this year, due to meds that I'm on, I cannot get my hands warm, and it's not even winter yet. I usually use the chemical hand warmer packs but I need something nuclear. I don't hunt, but I hike and snowshoe. I'm thinking down filled, maybe even fur.
Any suggestions?
Leather choppers with gauntlets along with wool liners. Then you can throw in a body warmer packet if needed. I have the same problem with meds. This is what I use. Drove dogs for many years and this works.
There are some decent electric ones with rechargeable battery packs.
I am not on any meds and my hands and feet are always cold.
I wear gloves inside of leather mittens with hand warmer packs in the palms when I blow snow and my fingers still get cold but not to the point of hurting.
I got chemical toe warmers for my boots.
Fortunately, I have not had to move any snow so far this winter.

I had checked out the battery heated gloves on Amazon and they are interesting. I also found a site that sells fur gloves (coyote, beaver, etc). Pricey but I'll bet they're warm.
I agree there. 25+ years of fire service in New England thank God for wool mittens. They got wet every fire, grew in length a lot but kept hands warm and no frostbite on the fireground.
Leather choppers with gauntlets along with wool liners...
Might sound dumb, but what are the gauntlets?
Ah...the extra piece on the wrist.

Back to 1st post, Leather chopper mitts and wool liners. Poly liner optional, GW
I've never tried down mittens so I can't comment on those. My "nuclear option" mittens for when I'm sitting on a cold stand are the surplus N4B mittens, and I like a wool rag glove with those. The problem is they are a rather loose fit unless you cinch them down. That is with the poly liner in them, which I prefer so I can get them off quick and quietly to shoot. You can get them with a wool liner which may stay on your hand better.

I haven't tried their gloves but have one of their vests and jackets. They work well.
Several years ago I got a pair of heated gloves for my snowblowing. They are from Western Store.com. Do not buy these gloves from them. The instructions are very much like the ones posted by NYfirefighter. NYfirefighter's but his sounds much better than mine. Mine tell you that when you first put them on, they will heat up to 55-60 degrees Celsius for a while then automatically switch to medium 45-55 degrees Celsius. And it goes down from there. They cost at that time was about 80 dollars. And they are not worth any bit of it. The batteries are rated about half of the batteries in NYfirefighter's gloves. Again, don't buy from Western Store.com!

I just found a pair of Kinco leather mittens in "the stash" (might be my son's) with a long wrist. They're lined in fleece but maybe I can bubba them with a wool lining. Down filled might be a choice. Whatever happened to global warming?
Down only works if not compressed, Down only works when dry.....Wool with a poly liner inside a leather chopper with gantlets...
I use an old pair that are almost worn out by guide gear. Have had them for 30 years. They are rag wool with pop tops and thumb pop tops. I stick heat pack in the finger pop tops when really cold. Mine are brown. Don’t think anyone makes the exact ones but I see various versions are available about every where I look. I need bare fingers when I pull the trigger and they open up to expose them instantly when needed. Looks like “heat factory” gloves closely resemble mine. I can say the thumb slit I’m not a fan of. If my exposed thumb is resting on my gun barrel it gets cold real quick. Probably don’t need the thumb “pop” slit option.

Twenty-five years ago I kept horses near Fairbanks, Alaska. What with feed, water and other chores I was outside doing moderate labor for about two hours a night in winter. I have never been able work effectively wearing mittens, so during the spells of extreme cold (-40F and below) my hands turned numb after a half hour or so. My feet also because I worn rubber bottom Sorels with wool liners, due to muck inside the stable, which in those days kept my feet warm for less than an hour. The solution, which I emphatically do not recommend, was to duct tape chemical hand warmers on top of the cuffs of my long Johns, positioned directly over the blood vessels in my wrists. Directly over the femoral arteries for the feet. It also had a whole body effect. Probably very stupid in retrospect, but it worked for me at the time.
Tool companies like Dewalt & milwaukee offer nice battery heated jackets and some of them can be connected to heated gloves. You could even get a power adapter with the right voltage and just run them off the grid like a heated blanket.

These men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new. It is not order.
