I have looked long and hard for a warm, waterproof, and tough winter glove. I could not be more pleased with these!!!! I'm a crew chief in the Air Force in Pittsburgh which means I work outside all the time. These gloves give me enough dexterity to do a lot of tasks that others cannot do with normal winter gloves.

Also, I work in Pyrotechnics and I do several winter shows a year. These gloves are tough enough that they have survived 3 shows. A normal pair of work gloves you'd buy at sears would normally last that long before they are worn through. I still use these gloves every day at my full time job at the base. 6 other people i work with have purchased them already.

Highly recommended.

...I'd also like to add that during a fireworks show i ran a nail through the outside shell of one of the fingers and they are STILL waterproof.

Great gloves, keep my hands warm even when very wet. The inside is very comfortable and fleece lined. I only have one complaint and that is that the Velcro to tighten the glove at the wrist isn't very effective and curls under the edge of the glove towards my wrist and that is a little annoying.

I purchased the gloves for running in the cold, and so far I have used them for any kind of work that I need protection or extra grip. The gloves are a little snug for being XL. Overall, I would buy another pair if needed.

I used these in snow ball fights and sledding all day and my hands were the warmest and driest out there. Good investment.

I have large hands but measure out to an XL on the chart... these gloves in XL are way too small still. Also, the glove has a major design flaw in how the fingers are sewn together. The tip of each finger has about 1/4" of material that is stiching that your finger rests behind. As a result of the thick seam, manual dexterity is severly limited. The glove is rather thin in general, I am not sure why the seam is so thick at the tip of the fingers, but it ruins the ability to push buttons easily with glove one.

I work in a grocery store. Frozen food. Ice cream. Anyone who has worked this aisle knows how wet regular gloves can get. Cold, wet hands = unhappy worker. But these gloves are great! Fingertips can get a little cold after a while, but you'll have that with any glove. Even while dry. They do run a little on the small side. I got the XL, but a size up would be nicer.

Used these gloves last winter in nebraska for my job and they kept my hands warm for the 2-10 minute intervals I would be outside.Yet were flexible enough to hook and unhook items in the back of the truck.

First impression is that they're light, they don't feel heavy at all and they're pretty comfortable. There were some small issues with the sewing on the pair I received, but I hope the thread won't unravel or something. The wrist lock is pretty good, it does it's job, also I must say they are just warm enough for me, no need for them to be warmer. They feel real comfy so I'm happy with the purchase.

I have been searching for a pair of gloves which would work for me for 14 years! They aren't the warmest gloves, but for manual dexterity with grip and waterproof I have found no equal for a wheelchair user.

These are good winter work gloves but they are a bit tight for their size. They actually fit like a pair of large gloves normally fit, so I guess you will have to order them a size larger than what you normally wear in order for them to fit the way you want them to.
