Would these gloves keep my hands warm? I need a pair that is light, durable, and will keep my hands from freezing to hell and back at 40mph speeds at about 30-50 degrees fahrenheit.

They are made of a thin neoprene composite. They are meant as warm weather gloves. Standing in street they would help but not as riding gloves

No. In fact, you may find your hands are cold and uncomfortable. These are not riding gloves.

These gloves are really good for speeds up to 25 mph for me because thats when the wind chill starts to cancel out the warmth from friction. What I would do is put one of those lunch serving gloves over each and the wind and water wont get in. They're super durable and last quite a while under every kind of stress as long as you don't carelessly slice up the palm, I think of the sinthetic leather like I think of my own skin when I have them on and I've had mine for 10 months almost and the're in pretty good shape still. Good grip on metal and smooth surfaces like glass and paint, highly resistant to abrasions so in those hopefully rare instances when you find yourself flying through the air, you don't have to worry about your hands being scraped when you go to use them to break your fling. And you could grab sharp or extremely hot tor cold objects in an emergency for several seconds with no damage to your hands, though I would recommend removing them immediately if we're talkin about hot because the heat tfrom the gloves will keep radiating to your hands from the palms after you've let go of said hot object. The neoprene is good for the warmth at high speeds in my experience (going 60 in the morning downhill on the highway, the backs of my hands were'nt numb).

As you can see from the pictures the glove material is medium thickness, with some compression. They offer some warmth and I believe would protect skin from accidentally bumping your hand lightly which might otherwise abrade your skin. No protection from heavy contact, the kind which would cause bruise. Definitely worth trying.

Yes, There are great in cold weather and they don't wear and tear easy. I'm not sure on the size for a child because I'm 33 but I'm played in these 4 times a week for 4 hours at a time and they held up. If he is a receiver they are slippery when wet like most gloves but they do better over most in the rain. Try to find a size that fits without being to big. I hope this helps.

I disagree with the previous answer: they are not very warm... they are somewhat warm. They dexterity is there but the intense grip of the rubber would make diminutive tasks difficult. I will be adding thin cotton glove liners to mine this year to provide a boost to insulation. Since I ride a bike with them, I don't have to worry about the added loss in dexterity. Theses gloves are not effective below 30F degrees.

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.

They are probably thinner than what you are looking for. They aren't as thick as some cotton gloves that would keep your hands warm that I had when I was younger.

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.

Wish I could help you, but I generally wear small/medium size gloves. I'd imagine they would most likely be somewhat too small for you, but if you are closer to the large size, it might work. If you are usually wearing x-large, not so much. Sorry I can't be of further assistance. You may have to look for a good return policy and take a shot in the dark on this one

Absolutely. They fit snug, I don't really want loose gloves. They have a lot of friction and recover very quickly if they get dirt or water on them. Would definitely buy them again.

I use the gloves at the farm cleaning and filling waters in cold weather. They will keep your hands dry as long you don't snag them. jI don't any experience with high wind wet conditions.

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.

I don't actually see a question here. But yes, that's what they claim they are. However the gloves offer nearly NO insulation, if you grab cold metal with them on it will cut straight through the glove. I got some 3M motorcycle gloves with "thinsulate" that offered significantly better insulation for about 30 bucks. They're out of stock on Amazon, or I'd link them.

They wont work like a mechanics glove... a little too bulky for that. They would be o-k for big nuts and bolts. I ended up buying a pair of extra large gloves to go over the top of these gloves to run my snow thrower and shovel. I'm not sure where the niche is for these gloves. Hope this helped. Kenny

You can definitely drive a car wearing these gloves. I did it even just today (it's like 30 below freezing today, so the extra warmth was much appreciated) and many other days. My mom (I'm barely 20) was a little iffy about me wearing gloves while driving (most gloves don't have great traction), but I actually prefer to drive with these gloves. I imagine medium will fit your hand just fine, it has an extra adjustable velcro strap on the back of the hand for custom fit and fingerless gloves fit many more hand sizes then regular gloves because you don't have to worry about how long the fingers are, just the size of the palm.

I think they run small, but got a quite a bit larger size just in case and they are only slightly larger than my hands which is just what I wanted here in south central Florida where it's hot and humid. Too tight would be like soaking my hands in warm water. Great gloves, they are tough.

I super love these. They are thin enough to go under all the gloves I wear and I love them. I live in Seattle so I should mention, I ride a bike and the coldest I will ride is around 30 degrees. So I can't speak to any tems below the 30 degree mark.

I really don't think so. After getting these I am not all too impressed with them. They fit tighter than expected and knife points go right through them. They are kinda slippery like wool or mitten style gloves. I went with hexarmor gloves instead. They really protect from cuts and lacerations on a level that is highly above the competition. look up their site you will love the gloves. They take a little bit to break in but after having them for 6 months they hold up well to the abuse I put them through. Hope this helps
