Raynaud's - Rehchargeable Heated Glove Liners
With Raynaud's, you want to keep your entire body warm. Layering is key. Even with proper winter gloves, your fingers may still be cold and suffer from Raynaud's. I like these rechargeable heated liners to wear UNDER your winter gloves. I use these gloves skiing. On the high setting, you will definitely appreciate the warmth, but keep in mind, on the high setting, the battery only lasted me less than 2 hours.
