Bought these gloves recently and just got back from a week skiing with them. Was worried before I went after having bought them and then reading that they were sometimes cold. This was definitely not the case. Skiied in weather that got below 0 degrees celsius and were still warm. On a mild day my hands were boiling! Gore-tex worked great, it rained at the bottom of the mountain some days and my hands were bone dry when others in my group had freezing cold wet hands! Was reassured as well when I saw local ski instructors with the same gloves and they know the gear better than anyone.
Love the cuffs and the tightening straps and the durability of the leather. Will be taking these with me for many years to come!

For those of us who think in Farenheit, 32 degrees is not cold. I would agree that these gloves do get cold, but if you are having problems with frozen fingers... and its raining outside, maybe you should pick a different sport ;) I have owned these gloves for going on 4 seasons. At times, my fingers do get cold and numb. We are talking temperatures of ~ 0 degrees farenheit though here plus wind chill. In truly cold weather, depending on your circulation, you probably will need a liner of some sort. When it is 20+ degrees farenheit, you may end up with some sweaty fingers when working hard.
