I suffer from [Raynaud’s syndrome](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-else-suffer-from-raynaud-syndrome-fingers-become-white-numb-when-cold/975766), and sometimes mittens aren’t even good enough for me. So a few years ago I invested in some [heated gloves](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYIHOD1/). Not cheap, buy worth every penny to me.
