I'm a mitten person, but I needed gloves to go out to the car on cold Vermont mornings, fumble with keys and buckle my four year old into his seat (sensibly, he won't take off his own mittens to do it).  I wanted nimble gloves that were warm enough.  As I jog, I was also hoping for something that would cross over.  A few of my students wore soccer goalie gloves, as the palms were thick.  By the time I got around to checking out the options, my local sports store had a zillion different use gloves, but none felt right.  These seemed more flexible, less rigid.

When I put them on they felt thin.  My hands were cold, but I'm not a glove person and was not a glove person because my fingers were always cold.  Still, I had misgivings.  It wasn't until I went for a run--and for the first half mile my fingers were cold and I was thinking about a pair a third of the cost in the hardware department of Sears--that my hands warmed up and, Wow!, my hands were warm and stayed warm.  Great.  Love them.  I came back an Underarmor convert.

Over the past month, the palm grips have worn fast.  One reason I hate gloves is that the finger tips wear.  These are horrible.  Perhaps "sideline" is what they are really meant for.  Jumping a battery, buckling and moving wood around the yard they are not.  I don't use them as work gloves, but they are more liners than true gloves.

At the price, I expect more.  For $20 you can get a nice pair of work gloves from Sears, and I might explore the higher-end Underarmor goalie or receiving gloves.  So, these work for running, but don't know if I'd buy these again for my lifestyle.
