Warm goalkeeper gloves

My son suffers from raynauds and is a goalkeeper. He has been coming home from training in tears lately due to pain from the cold. I have ordered him base layer gloves and little heat things that he can pop in that warm up but I wondered if anyone knows of any goalkeeper gloves that are actually warmer? Fleece lined preferably? I cannot seem to find anything when I google. I think the base layers and heat things might get in his way at matches, he had base layers before and said they affected his hand movement. Any tips of advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you mean football GK gloves, in which case I can't help sorry. My son is a hockey GK but also suffers from Raynauds and the best thing I have found so far is silk glove liners. I bought some off EBay and they weren't expensive but have made a lot of difference. They are very thin, so I don't think they have much impact on hand movements. If nobody comes up with a better suggestion it might be worth trying some.

If you can put the hand warmers at his wrists or buy wrist warmers then they warm the blood flowing to the hands without restricting movement?
