Depending on hat (ball cap or any hat that fits snug to head, cowboy hat or similar no). Yes he can these would work well for him

yes work well when mowing for me and would fit over a knit or baseball type of hat.

The antenna curves in close to the headband. He could wear a really loose hat or a hood and they would be outstanding for that. I wear mine snow blowing and they keep my ears warm without a hat in above zero temps. Below zero I'll wear a hood if necessary. I love these. The reception is really outstanding and they are the most comfortable that I've owned of six different types.

They could definitely be used on a snowmobile and doing the other chores. They are snug (not too tight though) on the head. It can also be worn over a knit hat and be secure.

husband wears a hat also with his head phones while lawn mowing, snow blowing, weed whacking. He has absolutely no problem hearing what comes through the earphones. So I would say, YES, your husband would find them helpful grooming ski trails. I don't know how loud a chain saw gets as we do not do anything with a chain saw. But I would guess that he probably could still use his head phones and still hear through them. My husband says that being able to listen to music or talk radio makes short work of his long tasks - time flies by for him.

These glove liners are corded and must be plugged in to the vehicle battery in order to work. If you want something portable, look for ski/snowboard gloves that use flashlight batteries. The batteries will only last a few hours, but you could use rechargables. Better for outdoor work might be a good pair of down/leather gloves.

There is pretty good padding right on the tailbone area. I think they would be good for snowboarding. I used them for motocross and they worked okay. The padding is similar to the air shocks you see in a pair of nike air running shoe.

I'm assuming you mean loose powdery snow over ice - I don't think they'd work well at all. The little plastic "teeth" are designed to dig into packed snow, and I don't think they would work at all on ice. You'd need metal teeth to grip a sheet of ice.

I installed them on my riding mower so I could mow at night. They work great and don't drain the battery. I'm sure they would work well on a bike.

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.

Only if tha chainsaws are completely off these are best suited for gardening & heavy yard work but after using them sign off on them as protective wear for chainsaw juggling (but only if they are off & buy a couple extra[just incase])

I would day "NO." They work on ice and snow. Other surfaces not so well in my experience.

They would work excellent. They come with a sticky set of feet that screw on and are very durable. My wife specifically used these for snowy, icy days this last winterand they provided excellent stability. They are very durable.

Never used them. I purchased then for a goose hunt but they were not necessary. They seemed pretty lightweight, so would probably be ok in reasonably warm temps.

In Hawai`i on the island of O`ahu there are probably at least 100 hikers that use these and NOT for ice or snow. They work great on slopes w/mud or dry dirt. They also grip on wet stream rocks. Here on O`ahu we've been using them for a few years. Note the company does not say they work on anything but ice or snow, but WE KNOW BETTER.

I have never been on a snowmobile, but there is no question that it would be great protection from the wind. My question would be whether you need to breathe through your mouth or not. If you only need to breathe through your nose, then this balaclava would probably meet your needs. I ride a bicycle and I need a more open-faced balaclava so I can breathe through my mouth. I generally wear a ski mask with a hole for my mouth as well as one for my nose for cycling or running in cold weather.

HI I used them last winter for snow blowing, during our brutal cold winter, and they worked very well. So well, I bought another pair . I think you will be glad to have them on - on the slopes.

Most likely ,IF the drive cable turns the same direction 'clockwise" and if the speed range 0 to 50 is within 10MPH then I would give it a try . I have been using these to replace on snowmobiles , ATV Quad runners and now a Moped [Vespa} , On moped I used the whole head and cable on sled and quad just the head . BE adaptable ! &gt;&gt;Gary

I used it for one season with a electric snow blower. So think it is possible for an electric lawn mower seeing how each are pretty much similiar being the plug ins being used. Just be careful with the duration of time that you used the cable for since they the plug in ends can catch fire. Used mine on the electric snow blower I had for the winter season and noticed the plug in end where you place it onto the working application itself was on fire that resulted in the end being melted with black brown stain left. So it can just make sure about theduration x frequency of use with the cable just speaking on what I went through with it myself. I used it for one season with a electric snow blower.

use on the driven wheels, but to be honest I`d use them on the front as well on a rear wheel drive vehicle, They are best on deep snow and dont spin the wheels as it tears them
