I don't have raynauds, but if you look at any pics of mountaineers on Everest or any other 8000 meter peak, a good 8 out of 10 are wearing these specific mitts. These were designed to be worn in the coldest, windiest, and downright nastiest conditions on this planet. Ed Viesturs is wearing them on the the cover of his book "No Shortcuts to the Top". If they can keep their digits warm on the summits of the tallest mountains in the world, I'm sure they'll be warm enough for anything you can throw at them in the lower 48.I have Raynaud's and use these gloves regularly in the -20s at about 5000 feet. They work for most things, but I use some very large high altitude "flyers" mitts over them if I am going to be resort skiing or on a long tour. My hands, however, have turned purple climbing in shadows on 70 F days.
