Will these also keep my arms warm when it is chilly outside? I' hope wear these in early MN Spring / Late Fall with a short sleeve tech shirt.

That is primarily how I use them. Good for starting out on slightly chilly mornings when the day heats up.

Though these are sun sleeves (not arm warmers), they do provide some warmth. I live in southern California. In winter, we don't get much below 40-50F. But I wear these with a base shirt layer and a short sleeved jersey. They keep your arms warm. I would guess at less than 40F you should get the thicker arm warmers. They look like the sun sleeves, but are thicker. Pearl Izumi makes both.

It's kind of like under armour in that it stays cool in heat, and not necessarily insulates but shields your arms from wind so it does provide some cold protection

No, your arms will always feel cool. I love them because I live in Atlanta. I usually wear them consistently into November and warm days in December. The next few days will be warm for February and I plan to wear them on my next runs.

I have never used them that way, I have winter sleeves :-), my guess is no, because they dont block the wind, which in my opinion is what cools your arms, the fabric technology along with the wind creates a cooling affect I can feel. I use them for long windy hot summer rides and they work great.

I am not sure if I am the one to answer that question -I live in Phoenix AZ - I know that they are very secure & you can wear them in several position ( mine came with instructions) I have worn mine in as cold as 35 degrees and have been very satisfied but it is not lined with extra material, you can however bunch it up for extra thickness around the areas you want to keep warm

I do not run as I have bad knees, but these have kept me warm in cold, windy conditions. You need to evaluate your personal winter warmth requirements. Running itself will generate body heat, and you probably don't want to get too warm. They are lightweight, but just a little bulky. They work well for my needs.

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 use them for pre- and post-season driving in my convertible. I've had no trouble with cold seeping in - including highway speeds in low 40 temps. Unsure if using them in true frigid weather would keep you warm enough - but then again, layering is always best.

will these gloves work for water aerobics, I have Raynauds and must keep my hands warm

That's hard to answer... I live in AZ where it doesn't get that cold usually. I did wear them in the pouring rain in the low 40's...and they were warm enough for me. I would probably wear them in 30 degrees if I was dry.

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

I would say that if you take it off for a little while around every 20 minutes of use and let your arms cool down, it should not be a problem. With that said, it is probably more dependent on whether or not you are using it in an air conditioned area, or the temperature in the location you are in. I personally have not found heat to be of any real issue while wearing them.

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.

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.

I wish I could tell you. Mine are not super tight & it's been super cold where I am & I have found them to be good. Granted--on one case I did add hand warmers but it was 4-degrees & windy.

Yes, I was concerned about that too, because it is my fingertips that get very cold. These liner heat very quickly also. I wear gloves over the top because these are just liners. I use them on my ATV for snowplowing, and they work perfect. This is my first season with them, and they have held up great so far.

I'm very pleased with my sleeves . They stay up real good. With the humidity outside your arms do get quite warm. I'm sure your husband would make good use of them.

I would say they have medium warmth. They are a lighter weight sweat pant but do provide some warmth. Would recommend!

"Warm enough" depends on the person. That said, I wear mine from +15F to +50F and I am perfectly warm. Below freezing they keep me warm only if I am actively cycling. If I stopped for more than a quick snack (15 minutes) I would be a bit cold.
