Of course we have suggestions! I suggest that your hands will stay
warm so long as your feet do. Wear these. (The Web site requires

They are half wool and indestructible, *and*, with any luck, they're
made in the good ol' US of A -- in Sheboygan, WI, to be specific.
Find them at a uniform or sporting goods outlet near you.

http://www.thorlo.com/socks/hunting-socks/over-calf/68.php .
http://www.thorlo.com/socks/ski-socks/over-calf/75.php are also good
but not quite as warm.
They claim that they're made in Statesville, NC, USA.
