Do what you'd expect.

By Ranked #604 - Ski Gloves October 19, 2009

They're very comfy and not overkill for those days when you need a glove but not a full blown storm gauntlet. As advertised on the packaging, they are good for temps between 20 and 30. I think if you were working pretty hard they'd be fine as low as 5 or 10 but for more sedentary activity they'd be too cold. I got them with the intent of using them as my mid to lightweight glove and carrying a very heavy pair for truly cold conditions. I think they will serve in this role well. Allegedly the leather is machine washable. Have yet to test this. They are supposed to be lined with some water proof membrane. I did not get the chance to observe their water resistance.Update:They are def 100% waterproof. I was hiking a very steep trail in NH (Flume Slide trail) and it was covered in snow and water ice. I was on my hands quite a bit and they did not soak through.However, the temps were hovering in the low 20s and eventually i found them to be too warm and they got all sweaty. This was after I had finished the steep portion and was no longer handling snow or ice.So conclusion - waterproof but not very breathable.Also, they took some time to dry out. I did nothing really to actively dry them; had i been on an overnight i probably could have dried them just by sleeping with them or something like that.Also the meta data given at the side is incorrect, there is no removable liner. I'm looking at mine right now - the whole thing is stitched in.

Update:
I'm finding the finish on the leather to have a few very minor scuffs and scrapes. I've been using them for hiking, skiing, the walk to work, and a bit of odd chores. I really don't mind if they end up getting beat up a bit as long as they dont loose their waterproofing, however the fact that they've sustained a few blemishes so soon is a bit worrisome.
