Battery powered mitts…help…

Oh no, I hope this doesn’t jeopardize your enjoyment of the outdoors.

I dint have any experience with this, so no recommendations, but I do see that you can buy separate batteries for heated mittens and gloves. Maybe being able to take spares with help.

There are many at this link. They also sell heated mittens. I did see some that take AA batteries, but looks like those are lower end ones that doesn’t extend the heat to the fingers, which sounds like a crucial feature for you.

Have you tried any of the RBH mitts (non battery powered)? They mention Reynauds on their site.

Jim C – thanks for the link, I will take a look

Doug – I will give them a call as suggested on their sight but I don’t have a lot a lot of hope for something that is not producing its own heat. In my case the blood restricting reaction to the cold is pretty bad. Once it occurs it takes a lot of outside heat input to restore blood flow. Unfortunately I can’t generate enough heat to keep even the best insulating mitts warm. I have a pair of BD mercury mitts  that others say their hands easily sweat in…for me their no better than a thin fleece glove.

If your budget is not small, you might look into the OR heated gloves.

I’ve always drooled over them, but I really have no need for a pair. They seem to have replaceable batteries, and you can even buy extra batteries.

A little forewarning, though. The OR gloves are quite expensive.
