I used to take one winter climbing - they were great for those long belays when your mate wasn't climbing fast enough 
The newer ones have a chemical reaction that you start by mixing two chemicals. They do work.
Do you wear a hat? Do you still get cold hands if you wear a hat?
Do you have windproof gloves? I've got some thin fleece ones with a Gortex windstopper TM lining that work really well. | |

Hi, Thanks Tom.
This is the first serious winter running for me, last winter I was a 15-min street runner
. hence these queries.
I think I am getting your point, but just to make sure: can you elaborate why you ask about the hat when I am talking about the fingers?
No, I was not wearing a hat up to now, but now with temp hitting zero, I will. Will see if dressing warmly helps too.
That reminds me, someone I was conversing with during a race, mentioned in passing that cold fingers is a medical condition related to circulatory system
. Do you know the name, so that I can google and worry myself over it
.
I didn't know goretex technology has reached gloves; I used to wear some athleticum gloves
