No, I never tried them. But the subject of having problems with cold hands in the winter is quite known to me.

In fact it is my biggest problem with wintersailing. Not only on the water but also on shore when mounting and (especially) with demounting the cat.

I have heard wave-surfers talking about gloves with heat from some kind of wonder sticks which they had to break. But in my mind they have the least trouble because they don't use their hands so much. So watertight gloves put under their suit will keep them dry (so warm), IMO.

In my shed I have at least 30 pairs of sailing gloves, bought in the years for trying and hoping that they would be the ideal pair.
The best of them are the ones with preformed claw finger shape, but they all get wet inside. After one hour my fingertops start turning intens white and painfull.

So yes, I'm also interested in the solution for cold hands.
