Try gettin latex surgical gloves. They are very tight and skin tone, so they
fit close to your hands and fingers for good sign/fs capabilities (I mean, after
all, surgeons use them to work in minute spaces -- and believe me, your hands
will actually be the warmest part of your body. I used this "trick" when I
lived in Michigan before -- but here in Florida, I'm looking for a COOL
solution!

Hi Nick. I wish I had an answer. I have perpetually cold hands. My only
suggestion is to wear sweaters with long sleeves. They should keep you warm to
the wrists. However, I don't tend to wear a lot of heavy stuff because I stay
pretty warm while interpreting, and sometimes is can seem a little restrictive,
I suppose.

I guess you've asked for someone to address the problem. I know that doesn't
often work. I have an arctic wind that blows past my computer, so my hands feel
like icicles whenever I'm on it for very long.

Good luck.

Alysa

Subject: gloves for interpreting

Hello all!
I apologize again for the dual post, but I also think that both groups have
insight that is helpful. ;-)
The school I work in is kept quite cold (rumors have that the A/C is on) and
normally that would be no problem, except that I really don't want to terp with
cold hands/wrists. It has just started, got a string of cold fronts come
through, and I can't seem to keep my wrists/hands warm. I have warm-ups to do so
I won't start cold turkey to terp, but it does nothing to keep them warm for
long enough. even while terping they are cold and i can feel it. any ideas on
gloves or warmers or something that i can wear either while interpreting (and if
this, should match skin tone, right? or at least be something
opposite/contrasting with the color my shirt, right?) or driving and during
preparation time so that i don't hasten injuries by terping cold. (probably
while driving too! ;-)
thanks all for your input in advance and hope great afternoon for all of you!
nick


hope never to be again as you are today.
