Thin thermal gloves that allow typing and stuff.

ThisIsWeird

Hi all.

Wife works in an office which is shared by engineers who are always on the go - she, meanwhile, sits in front of a PC and does sales. It's bludy freezing. Well, it's probably around 18oC.

She uses a leccy seat blanket which prevents her from becoming comatose, but fingers still get very cold - icy, chilly, run-awayish (that's me).

Anyone know of gloves thin enough to allow full office dexterity, ideally look ok, and are effective in the insulation department?

Thanks - this is for me as much as her...  :-)

I used to use something like these - but be aware that they can be overly tight if the sizing isn't correct:

Try fingerless gloves.

Wrist (and ankle) warmers make a surprisingly large difference and leave the fingers completely free.

Agree with @Hoenir about fingerless gloves.

Where I work there is basically no heating and I'm sat between 2 open doors enjoying the artic blast that whistles through.  A friend sacrificed an old cashmere jumper and got me a pair of TurtleDoves.  Suggest you see it they can deliver in time for Christmas.

Can confirm Turtle Doves are surprisingly warm.  Bargains to be had on eBay too, sometimes.  I needed something for crochet and I have sensory issues so I tentatively tried them when they were on offer, and they're great.

Fingerless gloves in a good material are also a good options.

Years ago a friend kept suggesting silk liners, like for motorbike riders, as my circulation was absolutely terrible and my hands and fingers always frozen.  I never got round to trying them myself but they could be layered with fingerless gloves as an option (or layered with hand/wrist warmers).

Take a look at some compression fingerless gloves. Also I can recommend a heated blanket for her lap

I live in fingerless gloves - around the house, working on PC & mobiles, driving, shopping, hiking (easy to consult maps & GPS units).  I rate comfort above looks &  rarely have cold hands & I used to wear them in several offices in I worked in.  Try also sitting with feet in a deep cardboard box to keep draughts off your lower legs & feet.

Thank you, everyone - a heart-warming, and hopefully more, set of responses
Fingerless gloves look like a good bet, and the Turtle Doves are really nice! 
Cheers.

I used to ride motorcycles in all weathers, and used heated glove liners in the depths of winter. Not very practical for office use as they need a 12V supply. USB powered would be worth a look though if you don't mind being tethered.
