These gloves aren't the worst I've ever had, but they're really not up to the rigors of outdoor work in cold climates. Wet snow seeps right through the material. And if it's raining, forget it. Your hands will be wet and numb with cold in minutes. And to top it off, they smell musty and mildewy -- eeew! I'm still looking for a decent pair of outdoor work gloves, so I'd love to hear some suggestions.

I am a carpenter from Upstate New York. I would not recommend these gloves for cold conditions. I have found when the temperatures get really cold they are useless. I had to get a warmer gloves. They are especially cold if they get wet. Your hands are dry but cold. I have found they are good in temperatures above 15 degrees, but for a winter glove you would expect better. They seem to be made alright, but after two days some of the threads have pulled out. We shall see how they hold up. So far after three weeks, they are still holding up with no more problems with the thread. I think this problem comes with the job though.

Whoever came up with the name for these gloves should have their head examined and the manufacturer should receive some sort of admonition about false and deceptive advertising. I live and work at an elevation of 8,000 feet and frequently work ouside in temperatures in the teens and twenties. Simply stated, these gloves do not keep my hands from freezing at temperatures below about 32 degreees. To make matters worse, they easily get soaking wet and then take a long time to dry. I wish that I had spent my money on something else.

THESE GLOVES AREN'T EITHER WATERFROOF OR ZERO PLUS CONDITION,THEY GOT SOAKED QUIK AND THE LINER BROKE OFF REALLY EASY, I ENDED UP RIPPING THE LINER OUT AND USE THEM AS A NORMAL GENERAL DUTY GLOVE.....

UNFORTUNATELY THERE ISN'T MANY GLOVES THAT SUIT THOSE CHARACTERISTICS, I'M A BIG IRONCLAD FAN BUT THESE DON'T LIVE TO THEIR EXPECTATION......... TERRIBLE!!

These gloves are not as warm as the gloves I use for playing in the snow, but, that they weren't made for sitting in the snow. These are made for working. I have never found a glove that is as warm that also lets you grab screws, etc. And once you start working, even in North Dakota, this is all you'll need. These fit great for WORK.

I bought these gloves because they came highly recommended on a photographers' chat site I frequent. I wore them one night when it was only ~30F out (~20 if you include wind chill) for just a couple of hours and ended up with frostbite. They do not live up to their name. Don't waste your money.

I've worn a pair of these gloves for three winters now intermittently for construction work and they are just starting to go. I've gone through many pairs of cheaper brands in the interim, and found that these are worth the extra money. I've also used other brands that had Kevlar stitching which worked well but cost more didn't hold up any better. These are the perfect combination of dexterity and warmth. They are not "hold your hands under a faucet" waterproof but they keep out rain and snow. I often wear another pair of insulated leather gloves over these if it's really cold and remove them to grab nuts and screws, etc. I've tried the rest and I'm coming back for my second pair of CCGs.

Waterproof? Not even close. They are also not warm. However, they are great work gloves. Just don't plan on using them in the cold or where they may get exposed to wetness.

The gloves might be warmer if they had a thicker liner.

The gloves have performed well for me. As a matter of fact, I have just ordered a 2nd pair and got some for a friend of mine. I have other winter gloves, but now they just set in the cupboard.
