Do they keep your hands 'warm' in cold water? I have Raynaud's and I'm a triathlete and struggle after each cold/open water swim (fingers turn purple)

My Son, who I bought these for says yes. He works out in the cold, snow, rain and had requested them. So far so good.

My husband uses them to clean the yard on raw rainy days, so not real sure about submerging in water.

I've put my whole gloved hand in water while Ice Fishing and had no problems with being cold. I've shoveled snow with these in below freezing temperatures and my hands got sweaty

I bought them for my son, who is in a wheelchair. The NE has had one of the worst cold in years, yet his hands never got cold. He said that they sweat. They're the best gloves he has ever owned. I would say that your hands will stay warm, even in ice.

The palm is thick, the top is neoprene. We use them to water ski, so we don't deal with cold all that much. We use them for blisters. I would think they would help with cold, tho. We use wetsuits when the water is cold, and you still feel the cold of the water, it's just that the wetsuit holds the water on your skin and your body heat warms warms it and keeps you warmer. I would think these would do the same. At least you know they are for the water and they dry quickly.

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

The price is for a pair of gloves. They are not insulated, so you might want to put a thin pair of cotton gloves on too to work in cold water

Sorry, I like to be hot and I have had to run in frigid temperatures lately. I have not had these long enough to know how they behave in warmer temperatures. Based on my experience with other brands as well, they are no different in terms on how much I sweat. The support is excellent though. Hope this helps

First of all I must say I love these gloves and have 2 pairs, one of which I have washed many times. The gloves still looks like new. I wash them in the washing machine on delicate with cold water. Best wishes. ps. They really help my hands.

I've recently used these gloves in the mid 20s F and I could definitely feels a minor chill. Later had a cold spell of 8 F with wind chill and my hands were freezing in less than 5 minutes. This was in NYC weather. I just bought lightweight primaloft gloves which handles the same 8 F and with less expense.

On low for a very short time, I use water top judge by finger how warm they will be. Then dry them off right before useing them. You'll adjust the time with experience.

Yep! I tend to cold though since it's not insulated, you will be able to feel the warmth on your hands.

I haven't tried the swimming gloves before, but do love these paddles. They've strengthened my arm muscles and provide great resistance in the water, similar to what it would be to lift lighter weights. I just use them for part of my workout.

Hey, Corky. They are flexible but, they don't allow for fine finger movements of you know what i mean. If you have a thin winter glove on, you will have more dexterity than you will if you have a thicker glove . . . these will be more like a thick glove. You can grasp, however, and use your individual fingers.As far as hot water, they DO protect you from hot water. My previous example may not have been worded correctly . . . the fabric hot glove i had did NOT protect me from the hot water / steam. The Best Silicone Heat Resistant Glove does not have pours so NO HOT WATER GETS IN. Hey, Corky. They are flexible but, they don't allow for fine finger movements of you know what i mean.

No they would not be warm enough for biking in below zero temps. That's not what they were made for. They are meant to retain water so one may keep their body temperature more easily. If you want something to handle very cold water, you want something thicker or made for that kind of thing. These are more for mildly cold and warm water. If you want to bike in below zero temps then just buy winter gloves or something.

I've been wearing them more in the evenings before bed to provide comfort. During the day they do get warm, but the warmth can help painful hands also. I do not sleep with them on, but the pain during the night has alleviated, but not sure if it is because of the gloves or not.

I am not sure on the wind factor. I believe they should keep your hands warm. The pair I purchased were for ice fishing.

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.

I have not tried that directly but I have used them in wet snow for work and my hands stayed dry. Be aware that the cuff is rather short so you cannot dip your hand in very deep.
