When I had the AV Fistula done I developed Steel Syndrome.   Sometimes my fingers go numb and often the finger tips turn purple and are freezing cold.   I discovered something that is wonderful to help with that problem.   I went to a Motorcycle shop and bought a pair of Heated Gloves.  They run on batteries and keep the hand warm all the way down the fingers.   I sleep with a glove on that hand at night and take it with me everywhere I go because even during warm days sometimes my finger tips would turn purple and be very cold.  A battery comes with each glove.  I bought two extra batteries and have them fully charged all the time so when I go somewhere I take all four with me so I don't get caught without a way to heat that hand.   My gloves are camouflage so people can't see it when I wear it out and about.  The brand I have is Gerbing's Core Heat Transfer System

I like those! Think I'm going to give them a try, but I don't think I quite need the T5s like you have. I'm thinking the heated liner will be adequate.
