These gloves exceeded my expectations, especially for the cost. I was expecting "okay" gloves at best, but these are pretty darned good gloves. I haven't had an opportunity to test the waterproof aspect fully, but I can say that while shoveling the driveway and sidewalk in 12 F weather my hands stayed warm. They were so comfortable that I forgot I was even wearing them until it was time to take them off when I came inside.
Upon removing the gloves after a vigorous amount of exercise and working up a sweat in 12F-degree weather, my hands were not sweaty, cold, or waterlogged, and the inside of the gloves didn't pul out like some cheaper gloves tend to do. While the rest of my body was pretty sweaty due to my winter attire and the amount of exercise exerted, the gloves somehow kept my hands just right without feeling even the slightest bit damp or cold.
Upon opening the package, I noticed these gloves were quite a bit heftier than any of my winter gloves. There is a significant weight difference. I knew then that these were likely going to be better than what I'm used to.
I'm not a big guy, but I do have pretty large hands for my size. The Large/Extra Large size fits me perfectly. Even the finger length is just right for me. Usually, when I buy gloves, I must get extra-large to get them over my thick hands, but then the fingers tend to be a little too long. Not these, they are perfect! My palm circumference is 9.25 inches and my middle birdie finger measures 3.25 inches.
Time will tell if these hold up over time. I'm not an avid skier since I live in Missouri, but I'm pretty active and will likely abuse the gloves while working with things harsher than holding ski poles. If they last me a couple of years I'll feel like I got more than my monies worth.
If you're looking for good winter gloves that won't break the bank, give these a shot. I'm happy with my purchase.
