what's the lowest temps these have been used in? any 14 deg and below rides? may 20 deg with some serious wind chills?

Ridden in the teens with these. They are very wind proof and usually I wear a pair of tights under them and they are warm and toasty. My feet are the problem! Remember to order Very Big. I am 32" waist, 160# & 5'-11"+ and XXL worked for me.

5+ is the survival rating. I've been down to about 20 degrees with a base layer and wool hat and been just fine. Bet I would have been ok at 10 degrees.

I am using 6 of them and we aim to have them at -20 C when they go on my head and usually leave them for 20 mins (they are between -13 and 0 when I take them off to be returned to the dry ice).

Never used them. I purchased then for a goose hunt but they were not necessary. They seemed pretty lightweight, so would probably be ok in reasonably warm temps.

I have been using them for over a month now and I haven't had any problem. The spec says they should work up until about 149 degrees.

I find them warm enough down to about 35 degrees or so and calm (no wind)... After that, or with wind chill, you really need to use them as liners under a mitten or other insulated glove.

Well, a lot of them. i had mine go out (as ecotemp said) and i don't think it got below 38f. if you do have a problem with yours im sure they will say it's because you let it freeze. thats what all their complaints are about it seems. and their customer service is non existent, they just said it was all my fault then (get this) he hung up on me. i never raised my voice (but he did) i tried to call back and they would not pick up my call. i will never even think about using them again. good luck!

I would say excellent.. I bought it to possibly use on motorcycle, but my only use so far was with snowblower -1 degrees -20 with wind chill. Had goggles on as well nose underneath was a bit chilled at first but didnt notice much of anything by the time i was done.

As of yet the warmest temperature I've used it in was 80 degrees and it was quite comfortable. I've used it at 0 degree temps but was cold. It helped extremely well with the wind though. Best guess 30-85 F.

I don't know exactly how low they will tolerate but I've had mine out in minus -20 degree temps without any problem, its best to use the external 6 volt lead acid battery in its weatherproof enclosure, I also cover the battery case with a plastic bag, this is what I do, I live in upstate central NY , Good Luck and if I can be any more help, just ask Sincerely Mary

I have not used them in an area colder than 50F, but being an LED light, these should work fine well below zero.

they work great under all conditions. I have used them outdoors in the winter time with no problem.

I can only answer from a road cycling perspective as I got these for riding in colder weather. However feet moving for running is a different matter than feet moving on pedals. I was "okay" at 40 degrees F, although I would've liked my feet to have felt warmer.

it all depends what you consider 'warm' ... living in the midwest and dealing with horses etc. etc. ... they hold up well down to about 10 degrees and no wind ... beyond that ... even with a silk liner glove and working ... NO ...

Mine float, looks about 6 degrees or so. Had these on my touring/commute bike (Trek 520) since 2009 and love them!

I have a 14" and the 20" both have kept water from freezing, this morning here in Indianapolis the temp was -13 with wind chill about -40. Both of my birdbaths are at least 4 years and they just keep ticking!

They are rated at 750 degrees, not sure how hot you are thinking but mine were used on high so far
