Boy: You okay?
Frazz: Finally. Man. Worst part about frozen fingers is when circulation returns. It feels like your hands are clamped in a vise.
Boy: Except you couldn't do that dance with your hands in a vise.
Frazz: A whole different hand jive.
As someone who has Raynaudās, I can see what his mistake was.Fingered gloves are the worst. They separate the fingers which makes them cold faster. I have to mear mitts or non-fingered gloves if Iām outside in the cold any length of time, sometimes with the small chemical heaters inside.
Had that already this year. I was out shoveling snow in single digit/sub zero wind chill for about 3 hours. My hands felt fine until I went back insideā¦
I used to commute to work in 10Ė F temps on a 750. Not much works at those wind chill levels, 10Ė and 70 mph. My hands never froze but I was glad the ride was only 36 miles.
As a second generation SoCaler I have no experience of anything like this. When temps ādipā to the mid-50s weāre out with parkas, caps, and complaining of āfreezingā.My nephew, who grew up here, now lives in southern Michigan and deals with sub-freezing weather every winter. He actually wants to stay there.
I think you meant he has a large surface area.It is the taller, thinner people (Iām 5ā11", 130 lbs) that canāt hold in the heat as well, and suffer in the cold.
Forget the gloves versus mittens stuff. If you go out without your windproof undershorts, youāll really know the meaning of pain when she warms upā¦
As a bike rider, Iāve tried many different types of gloves. Surprisingly, ski gloves were one of my least effective efforts. The best Iāve found are āpop-topā gloves. Those that convert from mittens to fingerless. Just cloth with a thin layer of Thinsulate. These are great, but I still wish I could find some with a more wind-proof outer shell, if only on the mitten part.

If he has Raynaudās, heās dancinā to the blues instead. His COAT is the right color if not his hands.

Frazz just needs better gloves ā anyone that athletic probably has great circulation.

As someone who bikes all winter in whatever weather, -30 Celcius, it is really important to learn how to switch gears and brake wearing mitts.
