these gloves are great, with the sole downside being that the scraper on the right-index finger is right where many of us normally have a little nose-wipe, and so i repeatedly felt he discomfort of a slightly sharp plasticine blade slicing across my schnoz on cold, runny-nose days.

I really like these gloves. My only problem is that the XL sized gloves still don't fit my big hands. For this reason only, I have to return them.

Good value gloves
By SkiUtahVerified Reviewer from New York, NY on 2/4/2008

Not Breathable, Not Weatherproof

Casual Wear, Downhill
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Gear Usage:

These were pretty good for the price although the inside lining became wet after a few hours of use. Everything was sealed up, but they could have been more breathable and faster drying.

 
Warm - from someone with cold hands
By jdubVerified Reviewer from Central PA on 1/2/2008
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Durable, Good Grip, Snug Fit, Warm, Water Resistant, Windproof, Wiper blade
Cons:
Slightly bulky
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Gear Usage:
motorcycling
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I got these on a whim as I needed warmer gloves for riding the motorcycle in the winters of central PA. I normally have cold hands and my usual winter gloves weren't warm enough. These were. The wiper blade is on the wrong hand for biking, but I would guess that these would be excellent for skiing.
