I have some thick Dakine gloves and some drop gloves but my fingers are always numb by the time i get in for lunch. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for me on warm gloves/mittens doesn't matter. I just want warm hands,

Hestra - super expensive, but worth every penny. So warm and comfy.

honestly, hand warmers.

i have Raynauds pretty bad, and i have hestra mittens with level overmitts, and my hands go numb within an hour... hand warmers for the win.

Mittens are the way to go for warmth. I use a pair of high-end REI mittens on cold days. The nicest ones often have a glove liner, but a mitten shell so that you can take the mitten off and use your phone without your hands freezing off.

Yeah, snag some mittens, it will make a bit of a difference.  But the other thing is to get some hand warmers.  One thing many people don't realize is that heating your palms isn't very effective.  The blood that goes to your fingers runs through veins on the back of your hand.  Go to CVS and buy some surgical tape (clear stuff that sticks to skin but still comes off without taking all your hair with it :)  and tape a couple of those little handwarmer packets to the back of your hands and it should help tremendously.

I've heard that those latex lab gloves under your normal gloves/mittens really keeps your hands warm.

Mittens would definitely help. I have Burton mittens that came with a liner glove and my hands are never cold with them.
