Sorry, I don't have a tool to measure in mils. It's less thick than a ziplock bag. Pretty close to the thickness of a standard sheet of copy/printer paper. I use them for a lot of applications, and the only time I have had them rip or tear is when I am scrubbing something clean and I use my finger tip/nail; sometimes my nail + the pressure slices through the glove. Also, occassionally I'll get a defective glove (maybe 1 in 1000) that snaps/breaks when putting it on. I know it's not the answer you were looking for, but I hope it helps.

I don't know mils. I just know the ones I got are a LOT thinner than the dynarex one's I've always ordered. They are from a different company. They are smaller too. What I got doesn't match the item pictured or described.

They are 0.0020" thick, measured with a calibrated Mitutoyo ID-S1012EBS snap gage.

they are "examination gloves" there is no thickness in mils stated on the box, must be about one mil. essentially surgical gloves. rips easily.If you want more indestructible gloves, go to something like "Black Advance Nitrile Examination Powder Free Gloves, Black, 6.3 mil, Heavy Duty, Medical Grade, 100/box by Diamond..." listed at $12.99.

not sure how to measure in milimeters, but about the thickness of a flour tortilla!

Does knowing it's 1/2" really help you decide? It's not bad until you put a case on it. Even then, it's not that bad either, but that's because I've been used to bulky phones all my life (Palm Treo, Blackberry Curve, HTC EVO Shift 4G, now the Samsung GS3 with the battery). I would agree with "it's worth the extra day". This whole mass media brain washing has gotten us to think that thinner is better. Just ask yourself, why do we put handles on knives?

If you are expecting to have warm hands... no... they are not. the material on top is very thin and does nothing to keep you warm. Might be neoprene, but it is not 3mm! Having said that these are very comfortable during a harm summer trip. Awfully uncomfortable in cold weather.

It's a close call (and I have limited experience with Memory Foam), but I'd say "Yes". Here's why: &gt; Memory Foam presents resistance merely because of its density... but it melts away when you put pressure on it. &gt; This latex pad is quite dense, but it actually pushes back on your hand. I'd say it presents as much *material resistance* as M.F., but *pushes back* about 2-3x harder than M.F. Suggest you get the 4", though, to really feel the difference.

I needed the same thing because as a Lmt, my wrists take a lot of abuse. I don't have big arms or hands. But the unit was still not deep enough. We both need something where we can put our hands in from the top of the unit rather than the side of the unit. The bigger units which contain about 6 pounds of wax should do the trick. While it is true that you could cover your wrist if 1) there is an ample supply of wax, 2) you use a metal cup to scoop the wax onto your wrist 3) submerge the hand/wrist at a weird angle to make it work, and 4) keep dipping and turning your hand over a few times -- all of this extra effort isn't worth it. Soaking our hands/wrists should be hassle free, but with this unit it is not. Update: I returned the unit and within two days, my cc account has been refunded. Amazon has always been great to me when it comes to returns, which I don't do often. I am very grateful for Amazon's awesome return policy. Thank you Amazon.

Evening..I am spoiled as I have an older model that stays warm continuosly and feels warm to the touch....but this one goes by the outside temperature....it will shut off..the sensor is located where it plugs into the mat when the temperatures are not freezing cold....example..it is below thirty now here and it is on now but on the warmer days when it hit above the 38 it is not on...also not noticeable hot when you hold your hand on it in the abient weather...but it is on...it is easy for me to test mine as I have boxes over mine for outdoor animals to keep them warm..and could put my hand inside and feel the warmth..hope this helps...

I have the single person version and it feels about the same as my Galaxy s4 (5 oz). Like others mentioned, its as thick as a cotton sheet, so not too warm, but a nice additional layer for chilly temps, but not enough to be used alone. I liked having an extra layer against my skin for "questionable" beds and bedding.

You can definitely drive a car wearing these gloves. I did it even just today (it's like 30 below freezing today, so the extra warmth was much appreciated) and many other days. My mom (I'm barely 20) was a little iffy about me wearing gloves while driving (most gloves don't have great traction), but I actually prefer to drive with these gloves. I imagine medium will fit your hand just fine, it has an extra adjustable velcro strap on the back of the hand for custom fit and fingerless gloves fit many more hand sizes then regular gloves because you don't have to worry about how long the fingers are, just the size of the palm.

I have asked myself this question for many products sold on Amazon.com. Sometimes the sizes are given as "Small" "Medium" and "Large". This type of "information" is useless. I had intended to buy a heated pad, but, since Amazon.com won't give me the information I need, I won't buy it from them

Joe,I generally wear a small or medium glove depending on the style and manufacturer. Wrapping a tape around my knuckles reads about 8-1/4". I found the gloves comfortable except for the trigger finger which was a little tight. I bought them thinking they'd give me a little more dexterity so I wouldn't have to take them off to pick up small objects. They're a little cumbersome as the ends of the mitten part are squared off rather than rounded. Hope that answers your question. If not, get back to me. I'm not sure I'd buy them again, but I wouldn't return them as they're kind of cool.

my guess is people who said they're warm don't actually use them in the cold. I used mine to shovel my sidewalk when it was 10* and my fingers were numb in less than 30 minutes. I'd say these "winter" gloves would be great for anything over 40*. (Not winter weather btw)

I have this pad. I recommend always following the usage directions because if anything goes wrong, you have not a leg to stand on with the company who gave you warning. You might try lying down to put the pad on your back and cover it with a blanket or something to hold in the heat. I use the pad to cover my cold feet. It can get quite hot to touch. I keep it at around 155 f. Higher and I have to fidget to keep it from being uncomfortable. Well, I hope this was helpful. Happy heating.

0.02mm is the thickness of this particular condom. typically 0.02mm is the top quality Japanese condom's thickness. Just to compare, the thickness of kitchen wrap is 0.02mm, and human hair is 0.01mm.So with 0.02mm condom, you should be able to feel the inside of your partner with your penis!! Isn't it wonderful?

DO NOT USE ON TODDLERS unsupervised! and seniors with thin more fragile skin. If you are thinking about using them for a age group with thin or tender skin like a toddler or senior, put them in a Pot Holder pouch, this reduces chances of burning, check often, if the skin turns pink, remove as the product needs more padding. It's to hot for that person with out more padding. Each of the different products they make rise to a different heat level. The large 18 hr one reaches up to 140 degrees, and can blister unprotected skin. I use the small hand ones, but I still put them in a Pot Holder pouch. Which in turn I pin in place over the area of my lumbar that hurts, and I can't get fixed. It's like having a 24 hr heating pad. If I didn't use the Hot Hands I would not be mobile, as it reduces the pain level. The smaller hand size do not get as hot as the larger ones. Not tried the ones for feet or that stick to your skin. As a senior, my skin is fragile, so I steer clear of anything that adheres to my skin. Hope my experience with Hot Hands has helped answer your questions. They are safe to use, read the directions though. Be aware of the fragility of the skin of the person who is using them. I can handle the small ones with out padding for a short while with my hands, but to put it on the more tender skin of my back, I use the Pot Holder to mute the heat to a lower level, which makes it just like low on a heating pad that you plug in. The key is the person's skin fragility, because even on low a plug in heating pad can burn a person. Which is why the newer ones have a 2 hr timer in them.If they are going into mittens, you could wrap them in some thing like a wash cloth to mute the amount of heat. Keep checking at area, if it is pink it is going into the burn phase.

Sorry, I didn't understand your question. Well, to me, it felt great, I got the warmth without the heavy weight that some comforters have. Being of a certain age, I don't need to be sweating more than I have too. It was all I needed on a cold night, and was able to sleep comfortably. I don't like to be too hot, and this was just enough for me to keep me warm.
