Not enough Ibuprofen in the world right now

Another cause of hand cramping is tight leather gloves.
I bought a pair of snug fitting leather gauntlets.
The had a seam at the bottom of the thumb.
When I grasped the grips, the seam tightened slowing the flow of blood.
That results were cramping and cold hands.
I now wear larger deerskin gloves with no problems.

I also found in cold weather that insulated leather gloves are colder that insulated suede deerskin gloves. I don't know the science behind it, but the suede deerskin are warmer when either riding or walking.

+1. I switched to a pair of elkskin gauntlets with merino wool insulation from Aerostitch. The elkskin leather is really soft and flexible vs my leather insulated gauntlets from Revit.
