I have this version of the gloves (which I think are one generation older than their current fleece-lined ones). They are only good for around 5 to 15 degrees. Below 5 degrees it's too cold, and above 15 degrees you don't need gloves to begin with. So they have a very narrow window of utility, only for the spring/fall (and even then not those whole seasons), not useful at all in the winter where the temperature is well below 5 degrees for months on end. I also find that while they fit well, the pinky finger is maybe a centimeter too long compared to the other fingers: all my fingers reach the end of the gloves except for the pinky. I once got stuck outside in -20 with these gloves due to a fire alarm and it was *NOT* a good time.
I was looking for dog walking gloves, meaning dexterity to tie poop bags and not soak with dog drool when grabbing dog toys. But for that price, makes me hesitant as well
Thank you for this review, it's exactly the information I was looking for! :)
awesome, glad i could help!
Thanks for review. Enough to totally not sell me for $72 to be winter gloves. "Pretty good" isnt close to good enough for the price
=) glad i could help!
Ty you saved me a few bucks. Looking for waterproof gloves to keep me dry and warm while shoveling snow.
You better look for breathable gloves to get dry faster when sweating.

yeah u can def feel the cold in the winter!!!
They also look a bit slippery when holding a phone.
How does the waterproofing stands after several washes ?
i havent washed them yet lol
So do you have a fav pair of gloves that youve tested?
i dont have a fave pair of waterproof gloves... but ive just been using a timberland one i got from winners (aka ross in the US)
It looks decent but it ain't for me at $72 for gloves that's main draw is just being waterproof.
yah they are pricey!

yeah i would wait for a sale!
My pair isn’t waterproof at all. Mere minutes in the rain the gloves get soaked and water is getting inside .
return it!
Did you review the fleece lined gloves?
not yet!
What size did you get and how much does the pair weigh?
i got a size medium, and unfortunately i cant tell u the weight of it... i seem to have misplaced my gloves lol
Not a glove for the cold. Once these get wet your hands will start to freeze.
yup!
