Description
Keeping your wrists warm helps keep your fingers warm because the blood vessels in your wrists are close to the surface and carry warm blood to your hands.
Insulating your wrists prevents heat loss, promotes better blood flow, and prevents vasoconstriction, which can reduce circulation to your fingers in cold conditions.
Consistently covering your wrists throughout the day helps maintain warmth more effectively than gloves alone.
Similar principles apply to other areas like the neck, ankles, and head, where blood vessels are also near the surface.
