Last Christmas, my future (now present) mother-in-law made me a muff. It's the greatest thing.

This one is probably better.

Yeah Grunge, that was what it looked like, although the one he had appeared to be hand made.

$5 pair of gloves from Walmart and hand warmers. Done. Just take them off when I throw.

 

[Jukeshoe]

That, sir, is quite an endorsement. So, I googled them - those things are like $80 a pair!

Are they really that good?

No BS, your hands will never be the least bit cold ever again. Completely waterproof. You can reach into lakes and come out dry and warm.

Actually, my only real complaint is that sometimes they're almost too warm.

Real deal.

I'll echo what people are saying about choppers. Gloves are less effective, because your fingers are insulated from each other instead of touching each other. They are easy to take on and off, and a good pair will last for decades if they're not stolen by jealous folks with cold hands!

So WTF are "choppers"!

I like to wear one of the fanny pac/thing a quarterback wears you just stick your hands in stays out of the way for me

These are the ones I'm getting, I saw a bunch of people rocking them last year during our winter series so I decided that this year I would get some.

18 degrees in St. Paul today.

Wasn't ideal but I made it through 9 holes using regular gloves and just taking the one off my throwing hand for a couple tosses at a time. When the snow falls the discs will be colder but right now it's possible without any special gear. Good thing it only takes me 15-20 minutes to cruise through Highland when I'm by myself though - not sure I would have made it through something like Acorn today.

"Choppers" are basically extra-thick, knit mittens inside of a buckskin or cowhide shell. They are typically oversized. Some of the inside mitts have pockets for chemical handwarmers.

mostly just use hand warmers in my pockets
i buy a box of them at costco
the colder it gets, the more pockets i fill with them
if its really cold i will wear gloves between throws if its going slow

 

[simpletwist]

I saw a guy wearing one of those tube things on a belt around his waist.
He took out his hands and turned it around to his back to throw.
After throwing, he pulled it back around and stuck his hands back in.
I have no idea what it is called, but I thought it was genius.

They are called mufflers.

My buddy puts one of those Hot Hands under his shirt on his chest. He says it keeps him nice and cozy.

I've tried fingerless gloves and don't like them. Several years ago, my dad gave me a pair of cheap Russian mittens. (They're big, bulky and very warm.) I stick one in my golf bag and keep my throwing hand in it when walking between shots. It's so big that I can stick my hand in it without using my other hand to put it on. (Easy on, easy off.)

Thanks guys! :thmbup:

I think he has the right idea. As a Texan I am far from an authority on keeping warm but I have found that if I keep my core warm my hands and feet will warm themselves. If my core is losing too much heat, no amount of warmth on my hands will warm them.

 

[nisk916]

I wear a glove on my non - throwing hand, and keep a hand warmer in my jacket pocket for my throwing hand. After my throw, I usually hold the hand warner inside my pocket, and it keeps it loose & warm. Longer games with a group, I'll sometimes take two warmers and have em both in the pocket. Nice and toasty!

I've been using cold water dive gloves this season; bit of a pain to take off, but I only take one off for full power drives, and that's really more of a mental thing for me than an issue of grip. The brand/style I use (a really old pair of DeepSee 5mm zip-ups) have a great rubber palm tread pattern that actually gets better grip the wetter your discs get.

Durability isn't the greatest, and at $20 and up a pair they're not the most economical option, but they're the only thing I've found so far that you can actually keep on while playing.
