        I have no difficulty with cold hands without gloves even down to the
mid 30s so long as I am working.  However, restriction of circulation seems
to be a factor.  If a drysuit gasket is too tight and/or squeezing down on
the layers below, or there is a too tight velcro strap on the glove, then
they will begin to feel painfully cold.  Often a simple rearrangement of the
layers or some other loosening is all I need to do.
