When the freezing wind and rain is blowing straight into you and you have nothing to protect your hands then they get cold, mostly my left hand suffers (the one that holds the bundle that doesn't get to move).

Raynauds.
Though smoking worsens the condition there is rather more to it than that;

True,but its not that common is it? and with me I just get used to not wearing gloves and after a while your hands get used to it.

On the contrary, it's extremely common.

It is estimated that 20% of the adult population is affected.

That doesn't work if you're in and out a van all day.

I forgot about that, every 10 to 20 minutes you get back into the van (and the heat) and then out into the cold.................I never needed gloves when I was on foot

I'm on park and loop so the van makes no difference to me its pointless having the heater on as it never gets warm and before I was always on foot as I wouldn't use a car

Fingerless gloves were issued to us all last week in our DO. Lino couldnt be @rsed so he sent one of his lackies round with a boxful and we helped ourselves.

The cheapo RM issue fingerless have always been good enough for me. And when the temperature drops they're a godsend for those pushing a HCT around. The handlebar gets mighty cold!
