Pretty nice gloves but would expect more for the price.

These gloves look pretty nice, are comfy and the sleeves can be tightened down easily. They come with paste to rub into the leather and seems to water proof it, that requires 24 hours to cure. I was not surgical with the application which resulted in discoloration in any non-leather areas of the glove. (especially around seems where the fabric meets leather) The smell from the waterproofing paste is pretty strong, and even after 2 months of use I feel like I cant touch my face or I'll have the smell in my nose for hours.

For the price I would expect these gloves to be a lot better. I've had several pairs of Burton gloves from mid/high price range and these are by far the best, but still leave wanting for something better.

The gloves come with a liner for use in extra cold weather but you might want to size up if you plan to use the liner. While I've plenty of room in in the gloves without the liner, with the liner my curculation was poor resulting in my hands getting really really cold.

So far these gloves have kept my hands warm (coldest use 18F) and dry. Not tested in deep powder or rain yet but I expect they will perform ok.

While I'm not about to trash these gloves and get some others, I would not recommend them.
