These gloves are easily the coldest gloves I have ever owned.  They are not even remotely warm.  If you pick up something that is cold, you immediately feel the chill on your hand. I tried them as a liner in my very warm mountaineering gloves and they even made them cold.  Uncanny.  The old worn liners I had in there were light years better than these things.  I tried them by themselves just taking the trash to the curb...my fingers wee almost numb in less than 10 minutes.  EVERY other pair of gloves and mittens I own ate far superior to these.  I can't comment on any water resistance since I was too scared to get then wet!

UPDATE:
I put the gloves on to go out in the April mist and quickly found out they are not remotely water resistant, much less waterproof...I picked up a metal rod that was laying on the concrete with rain on it...the gloves were instantly saturated and cold.
