Can someone please recommend me some very good quailty gloves. My missus has very cold hands and she needs to wear THIN gloves with good heat keeping properties. She has also got very small hands.

The cost isn't an issue, the quality and the insulation level is.

Any suggestions?

Silk inner gloves for skiing or biking, although you might struggle to get them at this time of year.

Agreed, and from Decathlon as they're about £4 a pair.

What and take the risk that they may have been worn by CVM - no thanks.
