Ask HN: Why don't gloves explain this idea for warming up your fingers quickly?
Sometimes wearing gloves is not enough for keeping your fingers warm.
So this winter I noticed that if I withdraw my fingers from the glove fingers and form a fist (with my fist still completely within the glove but with the glove fingers now empty), my fingers will warm up quickly.
Why don't gloves come with instructions that describe this simple trick for warming up your fingers?
- PopAlongKid 4y agoBecause anyone who has ever worn a mitten has probably already figured it out.

- hn8305823 4y agoEveryone in cold climates learns this by the time they are 5 years old
- smt88 4y agoI think it may even be instinctive, or a child figures it out by trial and error before they can even talk in full sentences.

- amichail 4y agoI think adding water would be more effective.
