Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Ski gloves / Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi

We have been asked to give some advice to a lady who is travelling with us next year in Feb regarding gloves and are a little stuck on what to say.

She has Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and so the gloves will need to be extremely windproof and warm, but still allow her to grip, so nothing too bulky.

Does any anyone on here suffer from CT,S or know someone who does, and care to offer some advice.
Have you used a certain make/model?

As it’s a medical question, you can reply by the Contact Us page on our website if you prefer to.

Thank you for any advice you can give.

I don't know much about CTS but wasn't aware it was typically associated with cold hands (unlike Reynaud's) but you could go further wrong than

Like @under a new name, not sure on CTS, but these post on the forum over the previous year may help.

@Lisa_BrentaSki, Hi, we have a Reynaud's that runs in our family, me, my Dad and my sister all suffer, funny I get it the worst when using shopping trolleys Sad

Looking at the CTS syndrome then I would suggest a glove that is not tight around the wrist area, so as with many people go a size up from normal.

I have some new gloves arriving this week (our own) I will happy donate a pair for research purposes for your lady, just message me details and sizes, they are super warm and waterproof plus nice and soft leather.

New Snowshepherd Gloves are on link below.

Mrs RL has / has had CTS in both hands (and, to a lesser extent, Orbital Tunnel Syndrome rolling eyes ) which causes severe pins & needles at times but her hands are rarely anything other than toasty.
It may be that the OP's client has other problems - perhaps Reynaud's, as suggested

Keeps your wrist extra warm, to be fair this is a huge investment for me, so wanted to make sure they were recognised as well.

Wot, as black Venitex? Twisted Evil

My initial though was just that it looks (!) like that would make them tricky to get under a jacket cuff.

actually easier than the Venitex ones as the cuff is elasticated all the way around the glove

we have tan ones as well Toofy Grin http://shop.snowshepherd.co.uk/Snowshepherd-Leather-Ski-Work-Gloves

Thank you for the help.

I have sent her an email asking her to let me have her size(s). I'll post back as soon as I have an answer.
After she has sent the details I'll point her towards your website so she can purchase a pair.

Thanks again, I "really" appreciate it

I don't have CTS but do have rather arthriticky hands and anything too bulky and tight makes it difficult to hold ski poles properly (particularly as I don't use the straps on the poles). Hestra gloves I've tried in the past have been too stiff for me.

Those illustrated by @livetoski look very good. Are they quite soft? Might well order myself a pair.

@livetoski, I'm just about to order some. The problem will be choosing the size. Small is usually right, but if there's not much 'give' in the material, small can sometimes be too tight, cue frozen hands. I'm guessing they're nice and soft. Cool

I tried my friend's, I'm a size 6.5 in gloves normally and the size S was quite roomy. If anything I would have liked the wrists a bit tighter but they're comfortable and very soft even when new.
