How about using some pogies, in addition to gloves?

Pogies seem like a great idea, but I have some vestibular issues that give me occasional bouts of vertigo. So I’m uncomfortable limiting my hands, in case I need them for balance.

I bought some of these Giro gloves on clearance some years ago. They’re ok. Only good for level 1 cold. I dropped one of them on a ride, then a day or so later found it again so, i guess I can’t get rid of them if i try.

How do we find home?

I would have never found it had i not had this guy with me.

IMO the only gloves that will be warm enough for your needs would be heated.

Bar mitts might work with a neoprene glove. But then moving your hands around is limited.

I too suffer from Reynauds. And in my experience, moisture is the problem to beat.

Gloves with a Polartec Alpha interior have made a real difference, mostly because of their uncanny ability to shed moisture.

My current favorite is made by Pedaled. On sale. Just bought another pair. Good down to upper 20s F for me.

This forum is such a great resource; thanks for all the really helpful suggestions. It looks like I should give one of the new gen heated gloves a try. The limiting factor is that in upstate NY the gloves are likely to get wet during changing weather that can range from freezing rain to sleet to snow during a ride. Many of the suggested heated gloves specifically that they should be turned off when wet. And I’d like a gauntlet style that can close on top of my jacket.

Which looks like it leaves the Sealskinz Upwell Waterproof Heated glove. Any other heated gloves that can get wet that I missed?

I use their comfort tracker xc ski gloves for winter riding. They are excellent.

Pacific Northwest Raynaud's sufferer here. When temp gets to the mid-40s, I reach for my electric gloves: https://www.ororowear.com
Bulky and on full heat the charge is barely good for 2 hours, but they do keep my hands warm.
This year I'm experimenting with merino liners inside thermal gloves inside pogies. But it hasn't gotten cold enough yet to know how well that works. And it bothers me that I can't ride on the drops.
But one way or another I do ride all winter long.

I'm trying to understand the posters who seem to think that the rest of us didn't read that the OP had Raynaud's syndrome.

We did read that.

Whether or not OP has extreme shell/core, they need warmer layers on their arms and hands. Period. I appreciate the ideas for those layers, as I also suffer from very cold hands (minus a diagnosis) throughout the winter.

Thanks again. I think of Raynauds’s as a condition that takes normal physiology to an extreme, rather than disconnected from vascular biology in total. So the idea of warming the core makes sense, I just may need it more than someone with a normal vascular system. And it’s cheap enough to try.

I did opt to try some heated gloves, and a new pair of non-heated gloves just for comparison.

In the non-heated flavor, two top contenders appear to be the Q36.5 Super Termico Winter Gloves and the PEdALED Alpha Gloves.

Has anyone tried both that could offer a comparison?

Sure, but just have to be careful to not overheat your core and get sweaty, which makes it all worse again.
