As a player and now a ref I always hated wearing anything on my hands as a receiver. Gloves just drive me crazy, I have a thing for being able to get the feel of the ball. This year I went out and bought a hand warmer that wraps around the waist. I wear it so the pouch is in the back and also has a compartment for those little hand warmers. This would be similar to what QBs and Wrs wear.
I have seen Mike Carey the NFL white hat wear this as well. As a WH myself I like so when I give signals people can see both my hands and fingers clearly.
We start playoffs tonight and kickoff temp is going to be high 20's. So we will get a real true test tonight.
Also the insulated or thermal striped shirts that many of the officials uniform companies carry are a good investment.
