I am an Icebreaker fan, and these gloves are no different. They perform well, and the rubbery texture for the fingers are practical for handling mobile phones, cameras and other small items. I wore these on my arctic trip as a base or standalone layer and they are great. Now, in the city, I wear them around town and they still look as good as they are not thick and bulky like many other woollen and acrylic gloves. And they are warm.
