On long trips, my right hand tenses up and cramps up. Would these gloves help my hand relax?

Not my friend, I do not think so, this glove is good for you avoid get calluses in your hands

Depends why that is happening really. For instance if you have dry skin and your hands slip on a slick steering wheel, you may be gripping the wheel tighter than normal. With gloves you MAY have to grip less tightly and decrease cramping.

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.

While the gloves are thick, I can't say that they would protect your hands from bruises from being bumped. I believe they would cushion the bump but I can't say to what degree. I really like the way they not only keep my hands warm, but they also help with arthritic pain. I personally recommend them for the stiff joints and aches of arthritis. I hope this helps.

My gloves are fine. I have been using them for over a month now and I have had no problems. I really like them.

These gloves gently squeeze but don't restrict movement like a wrist brace does. You might ask your doc or PT if these gloves would benefit you in other ways, ie helping to keep fingers warm.

Absolutely, I wear them driving all the time. I am wearing them now as I type. If you have arthritis in your hands, I suspect you'll be very glad to have a pair of these gloves. Hope that helps! ;-)

Yes I think they would. I have sevier osteo-arthritis in my left thumb and it seems to relieve the pain there. Also have rheumatoid arthritis which the fingers feel better while wearing the gloves. Best part you can still knit while wearing these gloves. They don't hinder movement. Hope this helps.

It should be helpful for weak hands. Sounds like you could have carpal tunnel.

for driving gloves, in my opinion, you'd want a snug fit in its entirety ...you should be as comfortable w/the glove as you are while driving w/them on ...if you are not, i'd say return'em ...they are superb driving gloves, so check the sizing guide again, remeasure ...reorder.

They will not keep hands comfortably warm if exposed to 10-20 degree weather for more than 15 minutes. I bought them for my wife to use during her commute to and from work. There are stand alone stick on pads called digits that you can apple to any gloves that will do the same thing.

I do not have tingling when I remove my gloves. Perhaps your gloves are a little tight for you. They will probably stretch out with use or you might want to try stretching them very slightly yourself now.

I have arthritis and carpal tunnel the gloves work fine for me. I DO NOT believe the gloves will stop you from clutching your hands, they may help you from digging your nails in your hands, if that is an issue. It may not hurt to try. Good luck to you to find a solution.

Since the gloves are 'unisex', I would suggest you go with 'medium'. I have large hands with long fingers and take a women's large, but a men's medium. At first, they may seem tight, but recognize that your fingers are probably swollen, so as you continue to wear them longer and longer, the swelling will go down, and the gloves will feel like they've loosened up. That's what happened to me.

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

Ruben, they certainly have the potential to reduce wrist pain -- in using these such bars, the weight will be on your forearms as opposed to your hands. Make sure, too, that your saddle is properly adjusted -- ideally, your bodyweight will be distributed between your hands/arms, your saddle, and your feet. If your saddle is too high (or is angled forward), it may be that too much of your bodyweight is pressing into your hands. If you are buying these solely because of wrist pain, they very well may help -- but I personally would first make sure that your saddle is adjusted correctly :)

I only use them at night and on my right hand, where I have some arthritis. That doesn't mean the left hand glove is useless. I just turn it inside out, and: voila!, it is for my right hand also.

Eh. I wouldn't say these were great gloves. I have big hands and if I remember correctly I hated these gloves because they put my hands asleep.
