Hate to do this to TNF as I've been buying and loving their goods for over 10 years, but these gloves were worthless to me. I bought them to wear primarily here in upstate NY for running in the fall weather. They aren't designed for the really cold temps...that was understood going in. However, I tried them out in 42 degree weather with little wind and by the end of my hour long run, I thought I was going to lose my fingertips. My fingers were so cold that once I warmed them up inside the house, they started throbbing with some serious pain...the blood and circulation was returning to my fingers and dang, it straight up hurt. These suckers are going back and I'm going with some Seirus brand all weathers or something like that. These gloves look cool and are sleek, but they simply fail to provide much warmth or protection for even short periods in mild temps. Go for something else and make these a wallflower! Sorry TNF.

Yeah I never wear gloves above 40 and between 30-40 I wear thin cheap gloves. I think my hands would have been sweating in these at 42F. But I guess everyone is different.

Wow, suck it up. 42F is 5C. I go for hour long bike rides in that weather without gloves and my fingers are fine.
