Winter gear

There are hand warmer packets you could try and I wear Soft Wool socks that help. Do you have Raynauds?
I do and medication helps some. If your circulation in your fingers and feet are bad, have your doc check it out. Wishing you toasty fingers and toes :)

Hugs, Robin

I need them for my cold toes. This year my hands and toes feel frozen all the time.

I wear thin socks under wool socks and it helps. Also have very thick mittens which are a few layers, rather than thin gloves. I've pretty much given up on gloves and have resorted to mittens.

You can go to any Walmart in the camping or hunting section and find the hand and shoe Warmers. You just open the packet and shake them. Put them in your gloves or hold on to them. They can last up to about 6-8 hrs. They do have toes one, but I have found them uncomfortable. So they have the shoe sole ones. You just put them in your shoes right over your inner soles. They are not bulky and boy do they keep your feet warm. They are very cheap in price.

If you have a costcos they sell them Really cheap and get large quanty. The only thing they don't carry the shoe sole warmers. Costco even has a gel seat warmer that heats up. Come live in Alaska and you can find some great stuff to keep you warm outside. Wool socks are great for me. The only thing is when you buy them at the stores really read what they are made of. Sometimes you can get these thermal socks that say they are warm, but not.

We have some great stores that are expensive, but all worth it to stay warm. I even saw yesterday a sole shoe warmer that is controklled by batteries outside your shoe on the side of the boot. Always cover your head that is where you lose most of your heat. I have to have my ears covered to. Maybe your not in that cold weather. Lol

For boots I got Servus..they are a knock off to BOGS, and totally worth it! I paid $30 for them, they are rated for -30 and waterproof... I got them last year because my feet froze at work all the time..now they are almost too warm.
Highly reccommend them..

For warm boots, I've had good luck with a style similar to the Marker Zip style of Khombu boots. I can't locate any photos of the exact style of boot I wear, but it looks quite a lot like them and they've been great.

I hope you stay warm this winter!! I tend to dress in layers, even early in the season--like now. :)

I love my wool socks. Also, I use a microwavable neck wrap that has a little cape for over the shoulders. It generally keeps me warm.

I have used the warmers for sporting events before, and love them.

My favorite feature, however, is my BF's seat warmers.

Tinglyinnc,

Nice to meet you. Well, I don't have any specific suggestions, but boy, can I relate! I'm the Turtleneck Queen for at least 7 months of the year - I'm sitting here now in my usual garb: undershirt, turtleneck, cardigan and fuzzy boots & socks, and hubby is walking around in shorts and an old Hawaiian shirt & flip flops, saying, "You think it's stuffy in here? It's about 70 degrees.

I hate Winter with a passion! I have a little space heater that I use to warm up the bathroom I get dressed in after my shower (not the one I shower in.) Sometimes I move it around to other rooms. I dread getting undressed, period, anywhere at this time of year.

But hubby loves to go to an unheated cabin at 8,500 ft. in the dead of Winter, with only a fireplace for heat. The most he ever has to do is use 3 blankets at night. He'll say, "You should come with us - it's beautiful!" like I've never done it. (Prefibro, I did a lot of things I don't do now.)

Different species!
