While there are so many wonderful things that pair well with cold weather (sitting fireside with a hot cup of cocoa, anyone?), arthritis is not one of them. Those suffering with arthritis and other joint related issues know all too well that arthritis and cold weather don’t get along. So, what can arthritis sufferers do to enjoy the cold weather while keeping pain and flare-ups at bay? For starters, they can layer up in the 5 heated clothing items designed to combat cold weather.
5 Heated Clothing for Arthritis and Cold Weather
Wearing the right heated clothing and cold weather gear can bring peace between arthritis and cold weather, making it easier to get up, get out and get back to what you love no matter what the thermostat says. Here are 5 of our favorite cold weather items to combat the cold weather effects on arthritis.
Heated Base Layers
One of the easiest ways to stay warm whether you’re inside or out is with heated base layers. Designed to be worn under clothing, heated base layers deliver up to 8 hours of warmth with four heating zones in both top and bottom, keeping your front and backside warm for hours and lessening the chance for the cold to affect your muscles and joints.
Heated Gloves
Everyone needs a great pair of gloves in the winter months, so why not get some that deliver up to 140°F to your fingers and hands?
Whether you’re just learning the effects of arthritis and cold weather or you’re well aware of what helps arthritis in hands, Gobi Heat® heated gloves offer an additional aid to help you get through those bitter cold days and lessen the hand pain, stiffness and swelling you experience. We carry a selection of heated glove liners, every day heated gloves and water resistant genuine leather work gloves for those cold days on the jobsite or snow blowing the driveway.
Heated Socks
Many people can attest to the fact that fingers, hands and feet are often the areas of the body that tend to get cold the fastest. That’s why we recommend wearing heated socks to combat the effects of arthritis and cold weather. Heated socks can be worn anytime, anyplace. Plus, Gobi Heat® heated socks are controlled with a small remote you can keep in your pocket or purse, so you can set your temperature without hassle.
