I wear just the one glove at home just for the compression, but at work i wear them underneath a par of fingerless weightlifting gloves as when i first went back to work a couple of months ago there was every chance i was gonna knock my hand on something heavy duty so just wore them too as added protection, and as you say they're so lightweight and comfortable they don't get in the way or feel too warm at all.
I also noticed not so long ago that due to refraining from lifting anything for so long with my left hand it has actually lost a bit of weight, most noticeably in my fingers where all the pain is. So i'm currently still using the electric massage gun on the hand for a while, then i switch over to a springed strength exercising gadget to try and build the muscles back up in my fingers. Although just being back at work and lifting equipment will eventually sort that out as well.
I have been advised in writing by the private doctor to not lift anything with that hand for 6 months but i have a lifting job so that's kind of awkward and unavoidable, but as long as i'm sensible and not causing myself pain or further injury then i know what's right and wrong.
If you slightly overheat in very warm weather though it's really worth trying the trick of soaking the gloves in cold water whilst wearing them and just get a towel to take away the excess water, and they will really cool you down as the cold water will be contacting your wrists, which is a known area to cool down with water if you're overheating.
