As this has no insulation it is obviously not intended for extended winter use. It does have a little cushioning in it but not enough to get excited about. I know this sounds lack luster so far but I have used these gloves for two or three weeks with no complaints. They seem to be sturdy, durable, and fit as well as a leather glove of this type should be expected to. If you're looking for something that is going to fit you like a second skin, this isn't the type of work glove you need to be looking at. If you're looking a good all pupose glove then these will do.
(UPDATE) I have had and used these gloves almost daily for months now and they have held together while doing everything from chopping/stacking wood to carrying stone to simply raking and shoveling. I stand by my original recomendation, for the price you're getting a great pair of gloves.
