I've read mixed reviews in other places saying these aren't good at keeping your hands warm. How warm are these in say 10-20 deg weather?

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.

They will not keep hands comfortably warm if exposed to 10-20 degree weather for more than 15 minutes. I bought them for my wife to use during her commute to and from work. There are stand alone stick on pads called digits that you can apple to any gloves that will do the same thing.

Sorry, I like to be hot and I have had to run in frigid temperatures lately. I have not had these long enough to know how they behave in warmer temperatures. Based on my experience with other brands as well, they are no different in terms on how much I sweat. The support is excellent though. Hope this helps

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 have used them this summer and did not notice any heat from them. Of course where I live it has been pleasant temperatures! Even though they might be warm in hot weather, it sure beats getting your arms all torn up....these are fantastic

I've put my whole gloved hand in water while Ice Fishing and had no problems with being cold. I've shoveled snow with these in below freezing temperatures and my hands got sweaty

I've been wearing them more in the evenings before bed to provide comfort. During the day they do get warm, but the warmth can help painful hands also. I do not sleep with them on, but the pain during the night has alleviated, but not sure if it is because of the gloves or not.

They are fairly hot, but are made so that they don't burn your fingers. I have had them for at least a couple of years now and have been pleased.

Though these are sun sleeves (not arm warmers), they do provide some warmth. I live in southern California. In winter, we don't get much below 40-50F. But I wear these with a base shirt layer and a short sleeved jersey. They keep your arms warm. I would guess at less than 40F you should get the thicker arm warmers. They look like the sun sleeves, but are thicker. Pearl Izumi makes both.

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.

I'm not what type of heat you have in mind but I've been using them for landscaping purposes in 100 degree weather & they hold up great but like said I don't know about other fields where high heat is involved such as wielding (seeing as how I only use them for landscape & gardening purposes) I'm not a welding expert but I don't these gloves would be well serving in an environment like that I think these are more build for construction. I hope that answers your question

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.

For me they are hot. Not hot enough to burn my mouth or hot enough that I need to let it cool, but certainly hotter than luke-warm. Maybe someone can provide an actual temperature?

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.

my guess is people who said they're warm don't actually use them in the cold. I used mine to shovel my sidewalk when it was 10* and my fingers were numb in less than 30 minutes. I'd say these "winter" gloves would be great for anything over 40*. (Not winter weather btw)

It depends, if you are riding in weather at freeway speeds anything below 50 degrees and your hands will still get cold. My gloves are not insulated, so these may you below 50 degrees. Hope this helps.

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.

"Warm enough" depends on the person. That said, I wear mine from +15F to +50F and I am perfectly warm. Below freezing they keep me warm only if I am actively cycling. If I stopped for more than a quick snack (15 minutes) I would be a bit cold.
