Please note that the break-in period for these gloves is long. The insulation layer takes a while to soften up.
When you sweat up the insides and make it all sticky, good luck cleaning them.
It is waterproof but the outer layer(s) still absorb quite a bit of water.
These gloves are only good for moderate rain in moderate temperatures. Let me explain why you don't want to use them in any other circumstance:
-In normal riding temps without rain, they are too hot and are more likely to cause you to sweat than winter riding gloves (absolutely no breathability).
-With heavier rain, the water gets down into the gloves from the wrist because the cuffs are too short. Your hands might even get real cold real fast.
-In 13 degrees Celcius or less, they are not warm enough. I was just out in 7 C for 30 mins and my hands went numb.
