Good quality, but not that warm.

Warm enough for temps down to about 35-40 degrees F. Much colder than that, or throw in a stiff breeze, and these gloves don't keep your hands warm for very long. And I generally have pretty warm hands. Not really waterproof, but they are very breathable and dry quickly.

Also, they are fairly slick, making it hard to grip things like cellphones, or take money/credit cards out of your wallet, etc. There is a grippy leather patch between the thumb and forefinger; this helps for, say, driving, but not gripping small electronic devices. The gloves would be improved IMO if they had more of the grippy stuff on the palm and/or fingertips.

On the plus side, they're very comfortable, seem well-made, and do work well as long as it's not absolutely freezing. XL size will fit people with big hands. I cut off the little D-ring/clip for attaching the gloves together, as it looked kind of silly and I generally don't use those anyway.
