The palms of my hands (just the palms) tend to get hot when I drive. Will these gloves help, or make it worse?

these gloves are ventilated in the fingers and back part of hand. Not sure it would help.

The gloves do breathe, but overall your hands will be warmer - if your palms get hot already, I imagine wearing gloves would only make it worse, unless for some reason the heat is coming from the steering wheel, in which case they might provide some minimal insulation.

I don't know if it will help or make itWorst. I like the way they feel when I'm driving. Sorry.

No, they will make them warm. These are the thin, non-wind proof base layer and must be used together with a insulating top layer (wool is the best). As a result you'll hands and feet will keep warm :-) This materials function is based on friction, not insulation. Moving and rubbing hands together will create warmth inside this base layer, the insulating top layer will keep the created warmth inside :-)

I have arthritis pretty bad in my hands and holding the wheel makes my hands hurt even more. I have found these gloves are great relief when I have to drive. Another comment suggested they may be slippery, making driving with them dangerous, but I have a fabric cover added to my steering wheel so it is not slippery at all. Without the steering wheel cover it might not be good to wear these while driving, I'm not sure.

Greetings, I didn't have any problems with my switch that comes with the hand warmer set. I would like to comment on the selection of high and low mode are a quite different temps on the grips. My bars takes about 7 to 10 minutes for me to feel the warm bars thru my gloves, (and it all depends on how thick my palm leathers are.) Good luck, Safe riding.

A little bit, since they have a dimpled texture. They do seem to make your hands feel cooler though.

I use them when outside and driving when temperatures are near 0 or below. I do not like gloves and I have arthritis in several fingers, it works for me.

They will provide moderate protection, but they are not thick. I think you become more aware of your hands because of the glove, which may help.

These actually heat around the perimeter of the hand (think tracing around your hand to make a turkey picture as a kid.) There is no top or bottom palm elements, but the heat is well distributed, and my hands stay warm inside my gloves.

they help with the pain but if you wear them too long your finger get stiff and doesn't move well. You are better off keeping it limber with exercise and warm or cold pack .

I wear them inside of my regular gloves as my hands are always cold. Last winter was bitter here, and shoveling snow always left my hands numb, these do help.

I don't use the gloves for sunburn protection but for protection from a sun allergy that affects that backs of my hands. That being said, I have not experienced any sunburn on the tips of my fingers while wearing the gloves.

They are reasonably warm. They do retain moisture if your hands perspire. If you leave them in the car overnight, next morning they will be cold.

The gloves are very grippy on the steer wheel. I've been using them for driving the last two weeks and they are great for that. They may be a little bulky for reaching into your pants pocket unless you have very roomy pockets. I'm able to reach into my coat pocket for my keys without any problems. I don't think you can go wrong with these gloves.

They are thinner than other gloves. I would say they don't keep you very warm at that temp. They still keep your hands warm just not as well as other thicker gloves.

It depends, if you are riding in weather at freeway speeds anything below 50 degrees and your hands will still get cold. My gloves are not insulated, so these may you below 50 degrees. Hope this helps.

these are not cold weather gloves, they're designed for hand protection/ shooting, protection from the elements was not in their design, yet perspiration will be expelled through material unless it's over 90 degrees, then your SOL

I think that the Medium will fit fine, and yes, you can wear them while driving, unless your upper part of your fingers get cold. Mine don't, and I use them all the time driving! They're very comfortable, thus driving is easy!
