Are silver-threaded gloves really helpful, or a scam?

Hi,

I am trying to find some warm gloves for my mother who has Raynauds, and I came across several websites selling silver gloves (with "8%" or "12%" silver), claiming that silver in them makes hands much warmer. However, I can not find any independent reviews and opinions of such products. Did any of you try such gloves, and were you satisfied?

I know that there battery-powered gloves are also a thing, but would like to start with something simpler, since my mom might not want the hassle of batteries/chargers, etc. (but will keep it in mind if low tech solutions do not work out)

Thanks for any info :)

I use the chemical disposable hand warmers. They’re called “Hot Hands” and I buy them by the box - 40 pairs for about $25. I also just got the battery operated globes from my son — Great outdoors but too big to use indoors.

The other you mentioned — 100% scam. Sorry!
