But we seem to be opposite - I have really bad problems keeping my toes alive although, in my case, it's not Reynauds but damage from frostbite that the cause with my feet. Hotronics electric footwarmers are the way to go

My dad has reynauds and as far as he can tell unless he's ridiculously careful and wears a million layers of very warm gloves on his hands, his hands still go white and numb when out and about. its a pretty scary thing! I hope i don't end up with it some day as i have amazing circulation I'm still cycling in shorts and short sleeves, no gloves.
the biology about keeping your core warm is somewhat true... when your brain senses that your core temperature is lowered it contracts your bloodvessels supplying your extremeties in order to keep warm blood supplying your core body (liver most importantly) however if your extremeties are open to the environment then they will get cold before your body can react coz of windchill... your body steals your blood when your shivering and feel absolutely frozen and your lips, fingers and feet go blue/white... i doubt that happens very often on a bike if you keep moving... so its windproofing/insulating yourself for most people.

Well I had started suffering from Reynauds by the time I was a teenager so I assume that if you are an adult you probably won't develop it ... but's based on my limited experience of one - me.

I've got these, but I don't like them. The inner thermal glove worn alone isn't warm enough even now, in October, and the outer glove is too thick for me to feel what I'm doing.
I really want something thin but warm & waterproof, and in a ladies size (I'd wear them for gardening too if such a thing existed)
