I love this gloves... they keep me warm, block the wind, nice grip, definitely not working gloves (too bulky), but perfect to protect from the cold while driving, walking, or being outside. They don't let water in easily, if you soak in water eventually the water will find its way in duh!... but your hand won't get wet or cold just because the glove got wet, and that is awesome.

I still have my first pair, 5 years of real heavy duty, heavy use, and they are still going, i still use them, and they look like new except the "nose wiping" fabric on top of the thumbs, that is fading a bit (which in my opinion have lasted way beyond I could have imagined)... I used them all the time (during winter of course, about 5 months of cold weather)... I have bought several to gift to family members...
