So, uh, I think the guy that said the color is wrong should get his monitor re-calibrated because I have a pair and the palms are pretty much the same minty-green color as the picture. As far as functionality, I wouldn't buy them if I was in Alaska, in fact; I wouldn't buy any pipe glove if I was in Alaska... It's cold there, this is not a cold weather glove. It is a warm weather glove that is made for spring riding in mellow conditions. For that purpose it is excellent, it is light and very breathable, so your hands don't get stanky, and it dries quickly when the molten corn soaks your hands first run.

In the picture it doesn't show that the palm of the glove is a horrible green. It looked nothing like the picture. I sent them back.

Light gloves with dexterity is what I thought I was getting - what I ended up with was a kids oriented glove with very slick surfaces where one needs to have grip for outdoor winter activities. The slime green may appeal to some - it made me give mine away.
