My 7 year old daughter has Reynauds syndrome and i am struggling to find gloves that will keep her hands warm.
Normal woollen gloves are not helping
If anybody has any ideas that would be welcome

I use merino wool gloves. They do a great job for me.

The fingerless gloves made by turtle doves from recycled cashmere are great for people with Reynauds.

I’ve had it for >30 years and wear gloves year round. Disposable hand warmers are a godsend and I keep gloves in every jacket pocket. I find wearing two pairs of gloves (thin liner and glove/mit) works best, mittens are always warmer and generally wearing more layers of clothing helps. Good luck and don’t forget her toes! I found out that my toes are also affected only after I developed chilblains which is very painful. Having said all this, with medication I am able to ski and am an ultra runner so Raynaud’s doesn’t have to change her life.

So far have found tights and socks on top are helping with her toes.
I just feel awful when she is crying and im trying to warm her hands because they are so white and painful.
This year has been the worst for her
I will look into suggestions
Thanks
