Ask HN: I need warm gloves that won't hinder typing

2 points by tired_man ↗ HN
I need a pair of warm gloves that are thin enough that I can still touch type.

The arthritis is kicking in early this year (morning temps in the 50s) and I have to keep working.

If you have any recommendations or links, please, please share.

Two ideas:

There are gloves aimed at photographers that either have thinner material at the fingertips, slits to stick the fingertips out of or removable tips.

Glove liners made from silk (intended to be worn under thick gloves, like socks are for shoes) can be really thin, maybe combined with a fingerless glove?

I hadn't known what glove liners were made from. A set or two of silk liners underneath nytrile gloves might be just right.

I'm going to check out the photographer's gloves, too!

I never re-adjusted to cold climates after the service. I spent so much time in Asia/Africa that if it isn't 85 or 90, I'm looking for a sweater. You'd figure after more 20 years my body would have would reset.

Thanks for the leads!

You could cut the fingers off a pair of cheap gloves.

Ah, but the fingers are the part I need most. Thanks, though.
