These gloves are made for mild winters, not warm at all for the east coast. I live in DC so temperatures fall below 32F every day, and my hands get super cold. Secondly, the zip breaks in about 6 months, it has happened with me twice. These guys were kind enough to replace them the first time but it broke again. I'm not going through the hassle of shipping them back. I'd have given them 3 stars if the zip didn't break - all in all, it's a useless product.
