thanks Mike, didn't see this post.

Yes, I do have those and I do quite like them but fingers, esp forefinger still gets cold, probably cuz of the little separating seam for it. I think I will cut that out next time trying them. Whole lot better than dish gloves or similar but not as warm as the DK's but little to no forearm fatigue.
They do work well pulling them on and off the fingers with teeth and the flushing doesn't seem to matter at all. The stubbing the fingertips in the front of the glove does tho (must restrict circ) so I'd recommend buying them a bit big :D

They look like they'd be warm enough, and adjustable around the wrist.
How long have you used them?
I've had them for about 5 years. They are starting to get worn out and I'm patching some holes with aquaseal. I agree with Kus to buy them big. they have a velcro wrist strap, but I keep it really loose to avoid pressure on the forearm.

I used them yesterday (5 degC?) and my hands were decently warm. No forearm cramping at all. I think 4-5 degrees is pretty much the low end for these open mitts.
