My fingers freeze on my hands, not on Everest, already on Dobrča, i.e. not just now but even above 0 it was the same.
I got some gloves that, besides being plastic fantastic, also have a felt-like insert; it doesn't help a bit.
Any advice where and what gloves to buy?

For temperatures around zero (no wind), wool gloves with lining or ski gloves are enough. When colder, put ski gloves over wool ones. Good to have ski gloves one size larger to fit over.

These over the net don't look much different from the ones I have now (they cost 20x more  ), I'll go check.
Otherwise, at least hunter shops sell iron oxide or something, you release air next to it and it heats to 60 degrees. Anyone tried it?

I think boiled wool gloves should help, even when wet. In severe cold, also protectors, ca 20 €.

I'm also one of similar "freezers". I tried boiled wool gloves (with thumb) - excellent. Compared to all ski gloves I've had so far, much warmer, even when wet. And as Francl said, over them protectors (though I needed them only on winter course when it rained, snowed all day..., otherwise boiled wool enough), then victory
good luck!

I also have problems with fingers on hands and toes on feet (probably poor circulation - whiskey helps they say ). Bought gloves at Kibuba - Trek Mates: GORE-TEX Altitude gloves, now on sale approx 40€ excellent. Last time cold so ice formed outside stuck to ice axe, inside sweating. Otherwise boiled wool cheapest and said to be super. Don't know how to fix feet toes, any suggestion or experience?

In K2 and Annapurna they sell thermal insoles for shoes. Break disc, reaction triggers. Per seller temp rises to 50 degrees warms shoe up to 3 hrs. After use reheat insoles in hot water, last ca 500 reactions. Price 10€. LP Andrej

Unreasonably bad problems are befalling you, Matta. Shoes (leather) must be impregnated before the trip with paste or Gore-Tex spray. Using gaiters helps quite a bit to protect shoes from moisture entry. On multi-day tours, slightly out-of-fashion plastic boots that have an inner thermo boot perform well (in the mountain hut we use them as slippers and they dry more easily). We carry double underwear, gloves, socks. For walking clothes, in the cold it's best to wear multi-layer, non-membrane fleece materials. After the tour (for the frozen ones), a down jacket and gloves with PrimaLoft synthetic down material help best. Mammut has all this on account and thanks to Ajungilak - the perfect 150-year-old (since 1855) brand from Norway.

Now I've bought one thing that they praised in the shop; according to what's written above, these are boiled wool gloves, 25€. They didn't have protectors. We'll see what happens.

Protectors are good from Mammut-Gore-Tex (ca. 90€), Lowe Alpine, Jack Wolfskin and others. Good wool gloves are all good. Homemade ones are also available in Trenta, Salewa or from Ortovox (double-boiled Schladminger wool). Those are quite expensive at 40€, others up to 20€. This is the best glove combination, everything else is gimmick. Good synthetic gloves (for climbing) are very expensive. For cold, check out Mammut Stratus Hooded Jacket at el. address www.terra-sp.si

Hi
I would like to buy densely knitted sheep wool gloves for winter days in the mountains. Wonder if anyone knows someone who knits such gloves. I've looked in shops but would prefer homemade.
Thanks for info.

Hi,
Does anyone maybe know of some good (and affordable) "mitten" protectors for gloves? Didn't find anything decent in Slovenian shops.
Thanks and cheers!
