Does any relief that the gloves provide -- remain (even temporarily) after taking them off? Also...for summer use...do they tend to get too warm?

Yes--in my case, I did have continued relief for awhile-------now not for hours---but it did continue for awhile after taking them off. I'm sure not everyone will be the same---but for me---yes.

Thank you for choosing our IMAK Compression Arthritis Gloves, we appreciate your support. We typically say that the relief from the gloves lasts on average 30 minutes after removal. If you like these gloves, may I suggest you try their sister product, the IMAK Compression Active Gloves, they provide the same relief but have grippers in the palms to make some daily tasks easier, such as picking up papers, gripping utensils, etc. Look for these on Amazon.com and thank you again for choosing Brownmed!

Yes, it remains for awhile, but feels better with the gloves on. I usually wear them at night, and it makes my hand feel better for at least part of the day. They aren't too warm for me.

I just received the gloves and have not used them for a long period...however so far so good....

I only use them at night and on my right hand, where I have some arthritis. That doesn't mean the left hand glove is useless. I just turn it inside out, and: voila!, it is for my right hand also.

I do not wear them for healing comfort as much as I wear them for warmth. So I can not speak directly to your question. Also, I have rarely worn them in the summer because I am wearing them for warmth. Sorry.

Most agree they CAN get warm in the summer, and do get relief to varying degrees after removal. The deal is they treat symptoms, not the cause, so supplement with a few hand ex's like the kind in Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis to get longer term relief.

Once they warm my hands up, I can take them off and my hands may remain warm depending on what I'm doing or where I am. They are thin and I have used them in the summer - my hands get cold mostly due to activity rather than due to air temperature. These gloves are much better for summer than the thick knit ones I used to use.

It does give relief for the day and yes they have a tendency to get warm during the summer. Which is why my husband and I use them only at night once we go to bed

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.

I have the same problem and find that fingerless gloves work better. Yes, fingertips can get cold, but they warm faster than whole hands.

Hi! Yes the heat goes all the way to the fingers. My whole hand is warm except palm. It's mainly top of glove and finger tips. It feels really good. I don't have any other heated gear and I'm still riding in Philly/Jersey area.

I don't wear them during the day only over night and with out my rings on. Wearing them over night has been great. They haven't hurt during the day like before the gloves.

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 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.

The are one time use, however... I have found that I can wear them in my leather gloves during the morning drive, then wrap my glove tightly with the warmer inside and put it in my pocket... 9 hours later, I still have some heat left for the drive home. The key is limiting the oxygen exposure. I suspect that if I were to put the previously opened packs in a plastic bag while I'm at work, they'd be even warmer for the drive home.

I hadn't worn my gloves in a few months which I had initially treated in the spring. Was surprised that they worked just as well as they did 6 months ago. So, in my case - a good long time.

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?

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.

No, they will make them warm. These are the thin, non-wind proof base layer and must be used together with a insulating top layer (wool is the best). As a result you'll hands and feet will keep warm :-) This materials function is based on friction, not insulation. Moving and rubbing hands together will create warmth inside this base layer, the insulating top layer will keep the created warmth inside :-)

They are not bad. You hands do get sweaty. These are the only gloves I've ever had so I don't have anything to compare them too.

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

I have the black ones and I live in Florida, south Florida, and I can assure you that you will NOT feel hot wearing these. If, for example, you are wearing a cotton Hanes T-shirt with short sleeves, these "sleeves" can be worn down to your mid-knckles and go all the way up to your short sleeve t-shirt and then some; and I don't have short arms; I don't have orangutan arms either, but I would say for a female, my arms might be slightly longer than average; I am 5'8" tall, and my arms are may be a little under average in width, but these sleeves will stretch to accommodate, and WILL NOT be uncomfortable or make you feel like the blood has stopped flowing through your arms; once you yank them up high enough, and pull them down to dover the major part of your hand, you won't even feel them; sometimes I have to pull them down further on my knuckles if grasp something, but that is so minor; they are GREAT, and I am extremely picky... Hope this helps...(I have no affiliation with this Company, but wish I did, then I would get their entire line) p.s. white will get dirty, I think, but it will only take a second to try them...But I have only the black ones and wear them every time I go out. And they show no wear. And they only take a second to put on, I don't have much patience for long laborious dressing tasks...

Sorry, I can't help. I only use mine to keep my hands warm , for which I ordered a second one. Good luck , though.

In my opinion, this minimalist gloves benefit is that the hands are less hot and sweat a lot less than with regular gloves that cover them all. I don't have to take them on and off over the entire trainning hour because they prevent hands suffocation.

No! Absolutely not! These gloves are listed as warm, but are in fact only stylish. The only help is the small zipper compartment that they suggest using for cash, a key or a heat pack
