The palms of my hands (just the palms) tend to get hot when I drive. Will these gloves help, or make it worse?

these gloves are ventilated in the fingers and back part of hand. Not sure it would help.

The gloves do breathe, but overall your hands will be warmer - if your palms get hot already, I imagine wearing gloves would only make it worse, unless for some reason the heat is coming from the steering wheel, in which case they might provide some minimal insulation.

I don't know if it will help or make itWorst. I like the way they feel when I'm driving. Sorry.

for driving gloves, in my opinion, you'd want a snug fit in its entirety ...you should be as comfortable w/the glove as you are while driving w/them on ...if you are not, i'd say return'em ...they are superb driving gloves, so check the sizing guide again, remeasure ...reorder.

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

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

No. They help to eliminate vibrations in the handlebars to make the ride much more comfortable - no more numb hands.

They are thinner than other gloves. I would say they don't keep you very warm at that temp. They still keep your hands warm just not as well as other thicker gloves.

I have not used them in more than a drizzle, but I would say the backs are waterproof while the palms breath, so would not be. However, they wick VERY well, and stay very warm when wet as on any hard ride above 30 I will sweat through the palms. My hands stay warm and come out fairly dry as the gloves wick the sweat away.

I used them just for riding my motorcycle. I used them and nice pair of leather gloves. I repurchased just to have them again. I live in Oklahoma and was a 12month rider. As my circulation has changed in cold my fingers are ice my hands. They are an integral part of my cold weather gear. I hope I helped. I seen the other responses. I wonder what went wrong. I was extremely impressed with them.

We use these cooking over a campfire and have had no problems with our hands getting warm or hot. Hope this helps.

They are reasonably warm. They do retain moisture if your hands perspire. If you leave them in the car overnight, next morning they will be cold.

Depending on the size of your hands, there isn't much room to add another layer. The gloves create a suction, making it easier to move as if they are molded to hands. I have found if hands are damp the heat goes directly to hands and makes it difficult to hold a cast iron handle @375°. Otherwise, can hold a decent amount of time before heat transfers. I would not suggest trying to hold flaming logs or coals. Great product. Everyone, including my kids, appreciate these.

These gloves gently squeeze but don't restrict movement like a wrist brace does. You might ask your doc or PT if these gloves would benefit you in other ways, ie helping to keep fingers warm.

These actually heat around the perimeter of the hand (think tracing around your hand to make a turkey picture as a kid.) There is no top or bottom palm elements, but the heat is well distributed, and my hands stay warm inside my gloves.

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.

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.

Most definitely not. They fit a small to medium hand fine, but the more the material has to stretch to fit around your fingers the less well it works insulating you from the heat.

No. I had them on in the 20s and my hands were cold. These gloves are not good for anything cold.
