Raynaud's Disease Silver Gloves
The Raynaud's Disease Silver Gloves (sometimes called Raynaud's syndrome gloves or Raynaud's phenomenon gloves) harness the power of silver thread to retain heat, making them ideal if you suffer from Raynaud's disease or if you're generally more sensitive to the cold. They're also great as gloves for poor circulation, and they can even be worn as glove liners for cold weather, improving the efficacy of both your the silver gloves and your regular gloves.

Once you have your measurement, please consult the sizing chart beneath to select the right size for you.

Small/Medium | 18.1 - 23cm |

Sizing Top Tip
- If your measurement falls near a sizing boundary, gloves on both sides of the boundary are likely to fit you. Select the larger size if you prefer a looser fit and the smaller size if you want a closer fit.
Who Can Wear the Raynaud's Gloves?

Please note that while the silver gloves are suitable for the above conditions, they are not available for VAT relief due to not being designed exclusively for medical use.
How Do the Raynaud's Silver Gloves Work?
The seamless Raynaud's Disease Silver Gloves contain 8% silver fibre, and this natural pure silver minimises any radiative body heat loss by actively reflecting 95% of the heat of your hands back to your skin. This reduces the amount of heat that naturally escapes, making them ideal gloves for Raynaud's.
Additionally, the silver gloves for Raynaud's also help with numbness, tingling and pain that commonly occurs where there is a constant cold. They have been designed to reduce perspiration and also have an antimicrobial fabric, making them more hygienic when compared to some of the other best gloves for cold hands. While there is no cure for Raynaud's disease, the Raynaud's treatment gloves can help you to better manage your condition.
Our Top Tip for Silver Gloves
To get the most out of your Silver Gloves, our product experts strongly recommend heating your hands before you put your gloves on. Hands that are already warm help the silver inside trap and reflect even more heat, ensuring your hands stay warm and toasty when you're out and about!
Can I Benefit from Gloves for Raynaud's Syndrome?
If you've only recently heard of Raynaud's disease, you're not alone. Many people people who suffer from Raynaud's symptoms often go undiagnosed for a long time, and as such are unaware of the benefits that silver fibre gloves could have for their hands.
Raynaud's disease is a distressing condition in which the blood is temporarily prevented from reaching the fingers and toes. In its most severe form it is very painful and in secondary Raynaud's ulcerations may occur that could become gangrenous and lead to amputation. If you suffer from symptoms of Raynaud's disease, we'd recommend consulting your doctor for a diagnosis, and in the meantime it's definitely worth investing in a pair of silver gloves for Raynaud's sufferers.
What Do The Silver Gloves Feel Like to Wear?
The Raynaud's Silver Gloves are made from fine combed cotton and pure natural silver, making them soft and comfortable gloves for Raynaud's sufferers. As they shape to your hands, wrists, and fingers with ease, they allow you to keep your hands feeling warm without compromise to your dexterity. The cosy cuffs have a finish that protects the integrity of the gloves so you can wear them in comfort time and time again.
Will the Raynaud's Gloves Work with a Touchscreen?
Due to the conductive nature of silver fibre, these gloves will work with the majority of touchscreen devices. This allows you to use your phone and answer calls, all while keeping your hands toasty and warm! Please note that a small number of customers report difficulty using certain types of touchscreen devices while wearing these gloves.
Are These Good Typing Gloves?
As the silver gloves conform to your hands well and don't reduce your dexterity, they're perfectly fine as typing gloves for cold hands. If you do find that typing while wearing gloves is uncomfortable, then the Raynaud's Disease Fingerless Silver Gloves may be a better choice.
Are These the Warmest Gloves for Raynaud's Disease?
If you're looking for ways of how to keep hands warm, then it's natural that you'll want the best thermal gloves around. As the silver gloves retain and reflect the natural heat of your hands, these provide as much warmth as your hands! Therefore, we recommend warming up your hands before you put the gloves on. This can be done before you leave the house, or even when you're out and about with pocket-sized electronic heat such as the Double-Sided HotRox.
Depending on your own Raynaud's symptoms, you may find that the Raynaud's Disease Deluxe Silver Gloves are more effective for you. These contain 12% silver fibre and are available in a choice of colours. Both the standard and the deluxe silver gloves work well as circulation gloves and gloves to help Raynaud's syndrome.
Can These Be Worn As Scleroderma Gloves?
While we consider the silver gloves to be one of the best gloves for Raynaud's disease, they can also be worn as scleroderma gloves. Scleroderma is a disease affecting the connective tissue, causing hard skin and also affecting internal organs.
As a result of the impact on internal organs, blood supply may become damaged. While the silver gloves would not provide a cure, wearing them for scleroderma will help to encourage blood flow in the hands, which in turn helps to improve natural warmth.
Can I Wear These As Peripheral Neuropathy Gloves?
Peripheral neuropathy to the hands and fingers can be caused by a variety of precipitating factors, including chemotherapy treatment, diabetes, and infections where the pain of nerve damage and finger ulcers can affect both genders of all ages. As sufferers are greatly hindered by persistent cold weather, the silver Raynaud's gloves can be worn as peripheral neuropathy gloves for improved hand heat retention.
Can I Wear These As Lupus Gloves?
Many individuals with lupus develop secondary Raynaud's disease as a result of inflamed nerves or blood vessels. As a result, the Raynaud's gloves may help to reduce such symptoms for individuals with lupus, making them suitable as lupus gloves when a Raynaud's attack has been triggered.
Can These Be Worn As Rheumatoid Arthritis Gloves?
The silver gloves can be worn as rheumatoid arthritis gloves in cases where the condition has triggered a Raynaud's attack. However, for more supportive thermal gloves for arthritis, we recommend the Thermoskin Arthritis Gloves, which help to boost circulation while offering gentle compression to ease pain.
Can I Sleep in the Raynaud's Gloves?
If you suffer from Raynaud's disease during the night, one solution can be to wear Raynaud's Silver Gloves to bed. While unorthodox, this can help to increase your levels of comfort and warmth to improve your overall sleep quality.
How Do I Wash the Silver Gloves?
The Raynaud's Silver Gloves can be hand washed at temperatures of up to 30°C. They can then be air dried away from sources of heat.
Please note that the gloves are not suitable for washing with detergents or for ironing.
Are These Available in Any Other Colours?
Unfortunately, the Raynaud's Disease Silver Gloves are only available in grey. If you're looking for more options, our top recommendation includes the Raynaud's Disease Deluxe Silver Gloves, which are available in three colours: Beige, Black and Grey.
What Are the Materials of the Raynaud's Disease Gloves?
The Raynaud's Disease Silver Gloves are manufactured from the following materials:
- 88% Cotton
- 8% Silver Fibre
