Looking for gloves that can keep my hands very warm in -20' weather doing farm chores: handling water buckets, shoveling snow, opening small containers. These work?

I would say so. They're really waterproof. The only inconvenient is that if they're getting wet inside they'll stay wet for a long time. I think you can wear a pair of thinner gloves underneath if you often have to take the hand out of the glove.

I bought these then decided they were not appropriate for my needs but should be excellent for what you describe as needed. May be some limitation with manipulation of very small objects.

The gloves are especially warm on their own. They are great because they are waterproof so your hands will not get wet. They should be find for what you say you want them for, except the small containers will be dependent on what size you get. If they are too big, then they are harder to use to do anything.

In my experience, they keep your hands dry, but are not insulated from the cold. Also, they are a bit bulky for opening small containers. But for the price, they may be worth a shot.

If you mean 20 below, no way will these work. If you mean 20 degrees, you may be ok if your activity level is high since they're rubber on the outside with a thin layer of fleece on the inside and they will keep the heat in. They have a good grip and are completely waterproof. Small containers may be an issue depending on what the container is like. Hard to say about that. My husband uses them for shoveling snow in those temps and was fine. Hope that helps.

I've had them on mine for all last winter and aside of heated gloves, this is the best bang for the buck you'll get. Not as good as gloves, but with a decent pair of insulateds, you won't be getting very cold. Careful with the high setting at mild temperatures; I believe they might melt or delaminate some gloves! Takes a little while to heat up, but hold heat a while after shutting off too.

Not a chance! The pair I had would not even keep my fingers warm when shoveling snow in the driveway. The dollar store gloves I had did a better job! Of course, this is based on a single pair that may or may not have been defective / poorly made.

As a benchmark, you can hold hold a cast iron frying pan out of a 400 degree oven for maybe 10 seconds. That said, they work much better at lower temperatures. Sort of how your winter gloves are perfectly fine at minus 20, but not so fine at minus 40. Typical of cloth oven gloves and oven mitts: if they get wet or dirty, the insulating effects erode dramatically. Note that the gloves can be worn on either hand. I would argue that rubberized side is less insulating.

I don't know and had the same question when I bought mine. I just made thebest guess I could for a size that would be warm and fit inside my gloves, whosesizes I know. p.s. It worked.

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.

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.

They are better than Ove Gloves. They resist higher temps and the grips are better.

Um, Not really. It's probably the best winter gloves for handling such things but it still isnt that great at it. If these things are big and you have a tool then yeah, but if you're working with smalls one and just your hands, no.

Temperature wise they would be good, but for fireplaces I prefer the longer traditional thick leather lined gloves. They defintely have higher temperature range, but your lower arm is a little exposed in fireplace scenario.

I would compare them to leather work gloves. I can grip a ski rope or the rope handle but I have trouble picking up a dime. Hope this helps you.

I normally would go with a medium glove, but the large is fine, as I did not want skin tight garden gloves. Plenty of room for the fingers, but am still able to grip pruners, etc., without any problem and still pick up cut pieces of plants from the ground. Gauntlet extends nearly to my elbow, which is what I wanted.

No! Absolutely not! These gloves are listed as warm, but are in fact only stylish. The only help is the small zipper compartment that they suggest using for cash, a key or a heat pack

Sorry for the delkay. Shoveling a bit of snow.Foot warmers get too hot on your flesh and don't last as long.Body warmers are too large for where I put them. (in boots and mittens).In mittens you can fit one on top of your fingers and one under them if needed.

They are tight fitting gloves, perfect for shooting in winter. They permit easy handling of ammunition while providing some protection from the elements....they are NOT warm gloves. However, warm gloves are bulky and not suited for winter shooting.

They should work just fine, they are water proof as advertised. They are also made for tough work, the fingers have leather protecting from ware n tear and outer is a stretch material for easy movement. They are suppose to keep hands warm unfortunately like all gloves fingers will get cold!!

Great liners, and they work amazingly for their thinness. I just used these for winter camping up in the North Woods of Wisconsin. During four days in the great outdoors, using these in conjunction with non-insulated windproof gloves, my hands stayed warm and toasty. Even after my gloves got wringing wet, my hands stayed warm. Wrung out the gloves, put them back on, felt the cold dampness for a minute ,than the liner started doing its job, trapping body heat and keeping moisture away from my skin. Wearing the same gloves without the liners, while stringing Christmas lights for 4 hours, my hands used to get cold, but not anymore. These things really work.
