Will these also keep my arms warm when it is chilly outside? I' hope wear these in early MN Spring / Late Fall with a short sleeve tech shirt.

That is primarily how I use them. Good for starting out on slightly chilly mornings when the day heats up.

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.

It's kind of like under armour in that it stays cool in heat, and not necessarily insulates but shields your arms from wind so it does provide some cold protection

No, your arms will always feel cool. I love them because I live in Atlanta. I usually wear them consistently into November and warm days in December. The next few days will be warm for February and I plan to wear them on my next runs.

I have never used them that way, I have winter sleeves :-), my guess is no, because they dont block the wind, which in my opinion is what cools your arms, the fabric technology along with the wind creates a cooling affect I can feel. I use them for long windy hot summer rides and they work great.

Best to say they are a second skin. We have had 26 degree temps, but I haven't been out for more than 30 min. They don't make you warm & fuzzy, you would need heavier thermals. I find I can wear them even to work, helping get to & from the car & not overheating me while indoors. Hope that answers the question.

The sleeve length will depend upon the heft of your arm. Mine is large-ish, and the sleeves are a bit short. If I wear the cap type sleeve shirt, they only reach to mid forearm.

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.

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.

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.

I live in Utah. These were great for our cold weather months (~Nov thru Apr). But once we hit the first day of spring, I changed them for something cooler and more "springy". I don't like to be warm at all on summer nights and I do think these would be too warm for year round use. I love these for the winter though -- each bed in our home has a set of these. And if they ever wore out, I'd be hoping they still make these so I could buy them again.

No, they are not that long. When I wear a short-sleeved top, they go up to where the sleeves end on my arms. Definitely not all the way to the shoulders, so they would not work with a sleeveless shirt/top. Generally mine stay up pretty well, although I find they are slipping more with the more I wear them & the older they get. It will also depend on what size you have, how large (and long) your arms are, and how active you are while wearing them. I have used mine hiking & bike riding and have loved them; they actually make my arms feel cooler and I love the way they protect the top of my hands in addition to my arms. I've recommended them to friends and have already purchased 3 pairs myself. No, they are not that long. When I wear a short-sleeved top, they go up to where the sleeves end on my arms.

Yes, you can wear them upside down so the logo does not show. As long as they FIT your arms.

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.

Yes they slip down on my bicep and ride up on my wrist. I have kind of a skinny arm though. So a man with muscles might have better luck keeping it in place. I'd recommend getting the sleeve with the thumb hole. Hope this helps!!

I disagree with the previous answer: they are not very warm... they are somewhat warm. They dexterity is there but the intense grip of the rubber would make diminutive tasks difficult. I will be adding thin cotton glove liners to mine this year to provide a boost to insulation. Since I ride a bike with them, I don't have to worry about the added loss in dexterity. Theses gloves are not effective below 30F degrees.

yes they fit snug if you have the right size. not sure if you will get the purpose out of these shirts being worn under uniform. not made for that to have the comfy cooling abilitys of the shirt. may be hotter.? id buy one and test it. i also ended up trying a couple of these shirts and went with the gildan performance. poly shirts. best work shirt ever! (with shirt only)

Yes/No. Yes: They keep me covered temperature wise on my ride to work, but I'm in sunny socal, so the whole climate is wind resistant. It's a thin outdoor/breathable material. No: These are shorts, with a breathable material. Would I use these to bike on a cold Chicago day, maybe, I'm a sweater, so it'd keep me balanced; but once you stop riding/moving around, the punishment would ensue. Hope this helps.

I would say they have medium warmth. They are a lighter weight sweat pant but do provide some warmth. Would recommend!

It has been a long cold winter so far but they feel like they will be. They're cotton so much more breathable than polyester. I sometimes get hot flashes and haven't had an issue yet.

They will help, but are maybe not thick enough for serious thermal protection. Excellent, though, for keeping road-salt and ice from paws. 3rd winter, 2nd pair.
