Anyone familiar with them? |

You need the solar option that mounts to your helmet. Seriously though, for the OP. If you have tried a good quality glove and your hands are still cold, my first suggestion would be to see a physician to check your circulation. You should be able to find a conventional glove that keeps your hands warm at pretty much any temp if your blood flow is good. Where are you skiing? -klaus |

The electric option may just mask the fact that you body core is less than optimum. |

If your feet are cold, put on a hat. -klaus |

If your head and body are adequately protected and your hands are still cold, it could be the result of poor glove design. At high speeds, cold air can pierce poorly designed gloves. I wear leather gloves that were constructed with as few seams as possible. They work like a charm. Jeff (wearing nothing but leather gloves) |

But that's the last thing to contemplate. |
