Why do some reviews say they are great for warmth and others say they aren't warm at all. Is it the fit?

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.

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 all depends what you consider 'warm' ... living in the midwest and dealing with horses etc. etc. ... they hold up well down to about 10 degrees and no wind ... beyond that ... even with a silk liner glove and working ... NO ...

Their strongest selling point is not their warmth but their waterproofing. I work in the TV/Film business and it's true that on a below freezing day when I'm handling aluminum pipe they get cold pretty quickly, but when it's snowing/raining they can keep my hands dry for hours. So if cold is the only problem then these aren't the gloves for you but if you have to work in the wet, they are great and really do still give a decent grip even on wet slippery surfaces.

They probably wouldn't be too warm, but I would personally choose lighter pants if it was that warm (I live in Michigan - 50 degrees feels warm outside to me!). I wear these sweatpants outside to jog or walk when it's 30-40 degrees, but my body temp heats up by jogging. After you wash these a few times, they sort of lose a tiny bit of the fuzz inside, but I still love them. If it's 30 degrees or colder, I'll wear these + some running tights underneath. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question! If it's 50-60 degrees outside and I wear these pants, I'd probably wear a short sleeve shirt as long as it's sunny.

In my experience, they keep your hands dry, but are not insulated from the cold. Also, they are a bit bulky for opening small containers. But for the price, they may be worth a shot.

I wore these under trousers and jeans in winter in Australia so it's not usually colder than 9-10 Celsius in the morning outside.I would say 3-4 perhaps but I bought them as a buffer against cold not as a thermal. I really liked them .They are not something that will do the same as thermals 100% but for taking the chill off they're great.Keep in mind the quality is not long lasting sadly and they after 6 months had to be thrown out but they're long in the leg and higher waisted than others.

I agree with the other answers. I find them comfortable in the 40-70 degree range. Lower than 40 degrees and they would help, but their primary function is protection, not warmth. I have used them in 90 degree weather where the are warm but not unbearable. I use them primarily for home construction and they have saved me from cuts and bruises many times.

Normally yes - they are only warm to the touch. But if you leave them on too long they can get hot to the touch. Good luck!

Yes, that's what I use them on and they are excellent. Very warm (I rarely use my heaters) and waterproof.

I use them for pre- and post-season driving in my convertible. I've had no trouble with cold seeping in - including highway speeds in low 40° temps. Unsure if using them in true frigid weather would keep you warm enough - but then again, layering is always best.

I can only answer from a road cycling perspective as I got these for riding in colder weather. However feet moving for running is a different matter than feet moving on pedals. I was "okay" at 40 degrees F, although I would've liked my feet to have felt warmer.

Yes, in my opinion, you should be concerned. *My* thighs are large (not even overly so - 5'8", 160pd) and they don't stay up at all. They still keep my legs warm (from just above the knee to the foot), but they don't stay up (for me). I wear them under sweats.

Hi!It's hard to compare these with socks woolen socks, because unfortunately I did not have warm woolen socks :-(But I can tell you that they have enough heat at a temperature of -20 degrees Celsius in heavy leather shoes with steel toes, which have the property very good "absorb" cold.

I understand your concern in regards to getting hot, but I believe you should be fine with these. I ran a half marathon in these and never got over-heated.

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.

Hi Janet, I purchased these for my grandma; she said they are the warmest socks she's ever worn. FYI they're really, really thick so might not fit when you wear normal shoes. Might be best for home with slippers etc.

My size would be medium as well and I did not feel they fit!!! The "thumb" did not close adequately to protect from cold and the "fingers" although better I did not feel was adequate!!! I return mine very quickly!! As always that was not a problem with Amazon, that's why "I like Amazon"!!! Bill B

NO! They are way too thin for that. They will help, and will keep the wind off, but anything cooler than 65 and you will be cold. You CAN use them as a layer. It takes a little work, but under my 3/2 they work fine.

I find them to be reasonably snug without being too tight. For me they are comfortable. If you were to be more active than walking normally, they would slide out of position. Unfortunately probably one of those things you'll have to try to see if they work for you. Hope this helped a little.
