Good and warm

The gloves are just great! I kept it in the water for 5 minutes and my hands were dry. Shipping to Germany also went quickly and without any problems.

Bad very bad The item was stated to be made for exceptionally cold winter days and would last. The warmth in any weather. Tried at +5 and got ice cold pretty much immediately. Tried even at a lower temperature -5 and was completely frozen solid with swelling in finger joints after a quarter of an hour. Impossible to use! Possibly summer time for waterproof they seem to be

The gloves are basic gloves, but I bought these because they are advertised as being extra warm. What else. Exactly -10C to be exact, so these are not "Extreme Cold Weather" gloves. I'm disappointed with the product, because these don't work well in freezing temperatures. My previous gloves cost maybe €20 and are thinner, but significantly warmer. Otherwise, the gloves fit and the materials are ok.

I bought these gloves for going to northern Sweden in December because I thought the description ‘extreme cold weather’ would mean they were suitable for Arctic winter conditions. However, although they definitely helped my fingers were still cold (and sometimes painfully so) after an hour or so of being outside in temperatures of between -5 and -15 Celsius. So the gloves are good, but I think the description ‘extreme cold weather’ is a bit misleading. I would go with the Swedish manufacturer Hestra if buying again.
