I bought these gloves to wear during winter driving in the midwest, and they're okay in that they shield my hands from the worst of the cold. But some of the finger seams leak cold air, and the texture of the gloves is kind of slippery, resulting in a less-than-ideal grip on the steering wheel. Oh well! I'll use them til I lose them, and I won't miss them when I do. PS--I notice now that the gloves are being offered for $40 (!). I paid a lot less than that, and there's no way these gloves are worth forty bucks. Steer clear!
