Hi I have tried gloves in the past.Not for traditional as i dont have any problems in that case.
Where i do have issues with the cold is using poles.Keeping your hands in one position for any amount of time is when your hands get really bad.As i said i have tried gloves and obviously they need to be waterproof!!!so really the only gloves have to be rubber.The only trouble is that i have not found a pair of gloves that are truly waterproof and with alining to keep hands warm.Do you know of any different?
