Sorry, I don't have a tool to measure in mils. It's less thick than a ziplock bag. Pretty close to the thickness of a standard sheet of copy/printer paper. I use them for a lot of applications, and the only time I have had them rip or tear is when I am scrubbing something clean and I use my finger tip/nail; sometimes my nail + the pressure slices through the glove. Also, occassionally I'll get a defective glove (maybe 1 in 1000) that snaps/breaks when putting it on. I know it's not the answer you were looking for, but I hope it helps.

I don't know mils. I just know the ones I got are a LOT thinner than the dynarex one's I've always ordered. They are from a different company. They are smaller too. What I got doesn't match the item pictured or described.

They are 0.0020" thick, measured with a calibrated Mitutoyo ID-S1012EBS snap gage.

they are "examination gloves" there is no thickness in mils stated on the box, must be about one mil. essentially surgical gloves. rips easily.If you want more indestructible gloves, go to something like "Black Advance Nitrile Examination Powder Free Gloves, Black, 6.3 mil, Heavy Duty, Medical Grade, 100/box by Diamond..." listed at $12.99.

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.

Sorry, I have no way to measure thickness. Try contacting the manufacturer and/or distributer.

The mat should feel warmer than body temperature. The mat needs to be on a cold surface to work, cannot be placed on other thsn a cold hard surface. Lift the mat and feel under it on the rubber bottom surface it should be very warm to touch. I have 3 mats on all winter and work well. The temperature needs to be 38 degrees or colder to work best.

I believe there were several different "mil" thicknesses available from this supplier. I don't remember the thickness I purchased off the top of my head. I use it on my snowmobiles and rode over 3,000 miles this winter with no issues.

0.02mm is the thickness of this particular condom. typically 0.02mm is the top quality Japanese condom's thickness. Just to compare, the thickness of kitchen wrap is 0.02mm, and human hair is 0.01mm. So with 0.02mm condom, you should be able to feel the inside of your partner with your penis!! Isn't it wonderful?

I've used polypro in the Marines, but for skiing they're pretty thick, unless you find some that are thin. And I believe you'll want something thin to wick away moisture and excess heat while skiing. Matter of fact, 2 years after active duty, (1999) I did some training with a reserve unit and we went cross country skiing - believe it or not. It was so cold, but the only thing they let us wear was our skivvy tops and bottoms under our gortex...because the skiing was going to heat us up and it did (this was in Grayling, MI and it goes down to the teens; add wind and you're at ~10. now in 2004 and 2005, I went snowboarding with my friends, and I had no thermals on that I could remember. Both trips were freezing cold in Petosky MI. I just had snowboarding pants, wool/blend boarding socks, and regular skivvies. And I was fine, never overheated, b/c the pants had venting zippers - or whatever. Oh yeah, the sun was a big help too. If you're going to ski as incessantly as possible, and you're going to wear snow pants (I assume are insulated), I'd wear something thin underneath. If you're going to only wear gortex in ~10F weather, then polypro might be the ticket. Another thing too. One thing our corpsman told us about polypro, is that you can overheat in them. One thing I've heard about wool from reliable sources, you won't overheat. Polypro is breathable, but will hold heat and won't let go - hence overheating. Wool on the hand is thinner and more breathable, so it can let go of unwanted heat from all the skiing you want to do; and still keep you warm. Hope this helps. So my best guess at ~10F = snow pants + thin wool.

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.

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 use mine in an inside breast pocket of my coat - warms my "core" rather than hands. Pretty thick for inside gloves.

Sorry, don't know the thickness. BUT, I do love them, they rarely burn, never stick and always cook foods thoroughly in what I would call a very short time. They have great heat distribution.

Dear MyPenName, NO! What do you mean not feel anything? Please specify so I am answering your question properly. Thanks PenName ;) Cheers, Margaux &lt;3

Yes we too have a tiled floor and we live in new england and it gets really cold...The one we bought was 1.5cm thick and it cost $90....however now when i click on the link, the mat's thickness is showing to be Regular 1cm and it is costing $70. So maybe they dont have the thick ones anymore or it could be a typo. Check with the seller before you buy this. I can also tell you that my friends have the regular thickness ones, but theirs are much heavy close 15Lbs. So we had 2 reasons to buy the 1.5cm thickness one. Also the colors are very vibrant and till date i keep finding a new item on it now and then. Hope that helps...

Keep it thin. For me, it all depends on whether it's a short or long walk, and whether I have just 1, or 2 or all 3 of my Dogs out. For just one or two of these leashes, I wear insulated leather gloves, for warmth. When I have all 3 leashes in hand, I prefer to go bare-handed, so I can maintain my dexterity -- which works for short walks. If it is really cold, or we're heading out for an hour in the field, I DO wear gloves for a 3-Dog walk (3 of these leashes), but I have to work harder at keeping them un-tangled. Thin gloves, like Gore-Tex, are a huge help then. If you have only one Dog, it's a piece of cake, and really any glove will do. I would advise to wear the thinnest gloves you can get that are warm enough for you, though, so you can manipulate the thumb-brake. Working the thumb brake is all you have to worry about with 1 Dog......if you have 3 big Retriever dogs like me, though, you find yourself playing "Mad Marionette Master" -- now, THAT makes life INTERESTING!!! So, I use my thinnest gloves for that in sub-freezing temps.

It is comfortably thick enough for me. I bought it for the cooling and it does seem to help! The pad is not cold but the heat seems to go down and stay at a normal temp. Good luck. A,

Obviously it would have helped if you had mentioned WHICH blue ones. As it is, there are several different oven and grill gloves made of woven heat resistant materials (NOMEX and KEVLAR) with silicone coatings and liner. Hard to compare any two without buying both. For the most part, the main difference is probably just the brand and individual designs. There ARE junk ones out there, like the 'magic glove' that pops up on DailySteals and other closeout sites that doesn't use the better heat resistant material and often end up with melting 'silicone' when used on pots or pans right out of the oven.

To be honest I do not recommend this for you. I actually stopped using mine. What I didn't like about it was the wrap part. It was to thin, it always got tangled, and never stayed flat... just to time consuming. I recommend you buy Everlast "Evergel". I got this for my wife, just like a glove w/o the wrapping procedures. It has 2 velcro for your wrist for extra security. It's still gel which is a plus, and it comes pink. If your into traditional wraps... just buy the plain heavy duty extra long wraps. That way you can form an extra padding around the knuckles. I hope I answered your questions thoroughly. To be honest I do not recommend this for you. I actually stopped using mine.
