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

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.

Oh yes, use gloves, very strong, a little goes a long way. Do not use for laundry- too hard on fabric

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.

Yes these will help. I'm absolutely in love with these as they keep you drier.

Yes, we tumble dry our freetimes on rainy days along with cotton prefolds we use as doublers. I only machine dry on low heat setting. High heat can ruin the waterproof fabric and elastic. In the winter, I hang then overnight in the laundry room, and they are usually dry in the morning. Bumgenius does not recommend machine drying at all though.

No.It take forever to dry and if you get it on your hands it stays for days no matter how much you wash them.

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

Yes, I think so. The problem is they are so tight that they cut off blood flow to my hands and put them to sleep. I don't use mine for this reason.

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.

No they do not have to dry between loads, they actually work better if they stay moist between loads.

I haven't tried washing mine yet because I've only used them to pick up lids and handles so far. I have not felt heat through them, but steam gets through readily.

I would say yes. These gloves are lined, and do an excellent job of keeping water out. I've tried other manufacturers, but none have been effective as Glacier Glove. Even after a good day of fishing in rough surf conditions, my hands are kept dry by these gloves. Water could leak in through the cuff if you completely submerged them, but otherwise these gloves do an excellent job of keeping water out.

I believe they should be. My son used them when out basement flooded w no problem. And he uses them to scrub and hose out the garage.

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 !!!!!

They are somewhat "stretchy" so if say err on larger side. As to make hands dry I'm not sure what you mean. They are comfortable and pretty sturdy.

These are pretty decent Cordua nylon. What denier I am not sure...I peddled in a lashing rain storm for a brief period and my gear stayed dry...I would believe that the packs are pretty good at repelling water, but if subjected to constant daily rolling down a wet road, rainy conditions your gear will eventually get wet. Easy fix is to purchase a pair of water proof covers that will reject any wet for long periods or long trips where keeping gear dry is essential.
