There's nothing worse than getting out in the cold and winding up with freezing cold hands; even the best winter gloves can still let some of the chill through. Some people will just grit their teeth and carry on, while others will take to burying their hands in the warmth of their armpits and jump up and down on the spot.

If neither of these options appeals to you, then there's another solution, and that's to carry a pair of hand warmers with you. They're always very compact items and will happily fit within a jersey pocket without adding much weight to your load.
