For the first time in about 12 years ( got a shock when I added it up!) I've got a horse suitable to hunt so I'm heading out with the Lauderdale this winter. Since the last time I was out though I have developed really bad circulation and although I'm on medication it helps a lot if I can avoid getting cold in the first place. I'm thermaled to the limit on my body but I need suggestions for hands and feet as they are the worst. I've tried the heated shoe insoles but the don't last very long, I've looked at memory phone ones but I haven't found any good reviews for them. Hand wise I really struggle and it'll be important to keep the feeling in my hands as my big lad can take a hold at times!
Any suggestion very welcome!

Thanks folks, I tried the woof gloves before and I think they worked well so might try them again, considered the Macwet ones but I haven't heard anyone say whether they are really warm or just waterproof.
I just noticed I put memory phone rather than foam in my OP - don't know where my brain was on that one!

macwet are fab... but the ones i've got are not that warm - maybe they are the summer version... what we did in the us is keep a spare pare of gloves under the saddle flaps then swap as you hands get cold - gloves are kept warm by horses heat :D
for feet - try good proper 100% wool socks - with good wuality liners - but not too tight as that will cut off circulation - and keep taking feet out of stirrups and circling them
other than taht i'd say a BIG hip flask of whiskey mac ;) tehehe
