OI am a fan!
I purchased these gloves a few months ago, with the intention of using them for my cooler commutes. Not full winter, just cooler. They have not let me down. As advertised, they are windproof and waterproof and they fit just as I wanted them to.
I have ridden in torrential rain, high winds and temps of -3 c (26 f) with these gloves and they have not given me cause for concern. I am not suggesting that they are warm (they are not winter gloves), but they have kept me dry and out of the chill of the wind, and that is all I could expect.
I added a pair of merino wool liners to these and I have not used my winter gloves at all this year, so far.

I’d rather get my hands wet than wear these gloves
I was excited when I ordered these gloves and expected good quality especially that my Klim pants are great both comfort wise and fit wise. These gloves are the complete opposite, they’re tight around the palm and it’s not easy to put on and the fingers are too long. After 15 minutes of trying them out I could feel my hand going a bit tight from how tight they were around my knuckles yet the fingers are too long making it hard to properly feel the handle bars and brake lever. I wouldn’t want to be put in a situation were I need to do an emergency break while wearing these gloves. I am comparing this to my Icon 1000 Axys gloves and they way the Icon gloves fit 100x better makes me no longer mind having wet hands during the rain than having to wear these gloves. I’ll be shopping around in person to try and find a waterproof glove that fits better.

Odd fit
I bought these gloves but I returned them because they did not fit well.
The fingers were too long, and yet at the same time too narrow to fit around my wedding ring.

Très chaud mais 100% imperméable. Dur à cassé mais après ils sont confortable.
