these gloves are well made and feel very comfortable. however, they don't keep my fingers very warm so I have to put my hands in my coat pockets anyway when I am out with the dogs. I thought they would be better than this after reading the other reviews.
I do give them five stars for the quality of manufacture, but the cold weather perfomance is, for me, sadly lacking.
If you go out on a hillside with no cover and there is a gale blowing, your fingers WILL go numb pretty quick. My own fingers feel slightly cold all the time when outside with these gloves, even when there is no strong wind, just a cold air temperature.
They are cheap though, so this probably explains the lack of heat retention. They are better than no gloves at all, but only just.
They are also very smooth on the outside of the fingers, even though there is a patch of fake leather on the palm and thumb, so there is very little grip of, say, a bicycle brake lever.
AS you can tell I don't like these gloves, but due too reading the other reviews first, I bought two pairs. I will now give them away as I don't see the need for gloves that don't work.
I DO NOT recommend these gloves.
