Customer Rating:
Summary: Not perfect, but quite good.
Comment: The Good:
* GREAT gripping surface. These are the best gloves for hanging onto things when wet and muddy I've ever come across.
* They really are waterproof! Not merely water resistant, but genuinely rubber-glove level waterproof. Stick your hands in a bucket of water and the insides of these gloves stay dry. (Waterproof gloves inevitably get a little damp from your hands sweating during longer periods of use/activity.)
* Dexterity is pretty good for a winter glove; particularly for a waterproof one! (Assuming you get a large enough size.)
* So far the exterior shell is standing up to heavy use/abuse.
The Bad:
* Not nearly as warm as I'd hoped. Apparently the manufacturer's idea of the 'harshest of winter conditions' is something rather milder than what we live with near the Canadian border. These gloves would serve admirably for most outdoor uses such as snowmobiling, but when your job involves handling cold, wet steel in sub-zero temps, you're going to still get aching, numb fingers in fairly short order.
* 'Floppy' gauntlet cuffs allow the cuffs to become bunched up (and frozen in their bunched up position if working in the cold and wet.)
* The lining does tend to get out of place and bunch up in the fingers, which can be a real aggregation when your work requires you to regularly take your gloves off and on.
Other thoughts: Sizing does run small; I'd order a size larger than you usually get for gloves. I really am impressed with these gloves; they'll beat any general-purpose winter glove I've seen, and if you must have waterproof winter gloves, these do an admirable job. But, there's still quite a bit of room for improvement. Recommended, with a few reservations.

Summary: durable looking gloves
Comment: I purchased these for cold weather cycling and was pleasantly surprised by the construction and materials in these gloves. I have used them only twice so far, but so far I like them very much. My only note is that (as another reviewer stated) they do run a tad small. I normally fit fine in XL gloves, but in this pair of XL's they were just a bit tight, which in gloves isn't a good thing. Had I opted for the next size up, I think they might be perfect. I'll use and abuse them in the meantime and I hope to pack down the insulation to give a slightly roomier fit over time. I have also used them for setting stakes on a cross country trail, and the palms give great traction and seem more durable than most. These would probably work well for the more abusive outdoor pursuits.

Summary: sizing runs very small
Comment: I purchased a set of these in the size of XL and when I received them, I couldn't get them even half way on. My brother in law is a small person with small hands and they were just right for him. I looked over the description and could not find it, but I think these were either sized for women's or a children's hands. I will admit that they were well constructed and where exactly what I wanted, but just way to small

Summary: Disappointing.....
Comment: These Gauntlet gloves are poor in insulating fingers from moderate cold. I bought them for use with a snowblower etc., but after just 10 minutes or so the fingers are uncomfortable. If I change over to either fleece gloves or cheaper thinsulate insulated ones they stay warm in the same temperature and weather conditions.
Gauntlet design is helpful in keeping the snow from your wrists, but they fall short of regular insulation for the fingers. Too bad.
Very disappointing for quite an expensive product.
