We work at night with hot water washers pulling pressure hoses, water hoses and extension cords. Will these keep hands dry?

They will keep your hands relatively dry. I work outdoors in the Northwest so I am outside in the rain. Mine leak just a little but the biggest problem is if your hands sweat it can't breathe and your hands get wet with sweat. In moderate temps, 40-50, they still keep your hands warm. Below freezing my hands don't sweat and they keep my hands fairly warm if I am active with my hands. If I am just out walking the dog or out for a long period of time my hands get cold. I have tried two other brands of neoprene gloves and like these the best. One pair didn't hold up. The other pair doesn't fit well.

Not for very long, I install sewer and water and the fingers in mine blew out in less than two weeks

I use them to prevent sheets from getting wet. They do the job. I do not see any reason that they could not be washed by hand. It is just a matter of rinsing well.

Absolutely! That's what I bought them for. Our dishwasher likes them because they don't let the water seep down into the gloves. They go all the way up to his shoulders. They are big on me because I have small hands and they are a bit big on him too. But they are textured and grip really well so the fragile things don't slip out of his hands. I now have 4 pair of these. Love them.

I always let them air dry. I wash them frequently and love them. Best gardening gloves ever.

I don't think so. The back of the gloves are not waterproof. They are a stretchy material. And I don't think the rubberized side is tough enough to deflect needles, broken glass, or other things you might encounter in a trash pick up. These are great gardening gloves, but I think you need something more industrial.

I think they'd be OK. They are kind of a seat belt type material, so they might not dry fast. But, I cannot say for certain, as I have never needed to wash mine.

Thank you for your question concerning the UV gloves used while drying your nails with the UV nail dryer. No, these gloves are not cotton but made with a special UV resistant material. They are machine washable and fit most hand sizes. Well made and comfortable product.

I take mine on wildfire assignments, and use to dry after showing...because they absorb SO much water quickly, and then they DRY back out quickly....I haven't used them to WASH with, but I don't see why not, as they do absorb water...and they DO dry out quickly !!!!!

These gloves will definitely keep you hands dry and warm. If you need to take your gloves on and off I would not recommend these. They are a snug fit which they are suppose to be- they would not be easy to take on and off. Also, if you need to have total movement during lobster fishing these gloves are a bit thick to give your fingers free movement- a bit stiff. I use them to feed and water horses in the winter months, they work well for that purpose.

These were bought for my 96 year old mother's urine accidents. They work for that. Her outer clothes remain dry

these are water repellent so I would say that stains from work clothes would not get through.

I have not used them for anything but drying dishes, but I do note that they are tightly woven and sturdy. After a few months of use, the hems and selvages have held up well. These towels do dry dishes lint free. I believe they would work for straining liquid in an application such as making cheese, but you might want something a little bit looser in weave.

I'm sure they would . I'm artist thats welds in all kinds of positions , sometimes laying under the project . They protect my arms from hot splatter , burning me ..

Their strongest selling point is not their warmth but their waterproofing. I work in the TV/Film business and it's true that on a below freezing day when I'm handling aluminum pipe they get cold pretty quickly, but when it's snowing/raining they can keep my hands dry for hours. So if cold is the only problem then these aren't the gloves for you but if you have to work in the wet, they are great and really do still give a decent grip even on wet slippery surfaces.

not that I know of .... I always hand wash them and let them air dry. I keep two sets so when one is drying, I can use the other.

Hanging them outside to dry is the best way. A mechanical wringer would get them dry enough for an automatic dryer, but good ones are not cheap or readily available. While hand-wringing sort of works on woven fabrics, it's not a good idea for knits because they get stretched out of shape. Debbie is right about the dripping, and it's hard to wring heavy fabrics like denim jeans. Knit sweaters and tops can be squeezed to get much of the water out, and if you wrap a clean dry towel around them you can squeeze out even more, then hang the towel to dry with the rest of the laundry.

I bought this for my daughter, who is a school nurse. She reports that yes, it does keep hands from drying out after constant washing, smells good, and provides for softer hands.
