It's true, these gloves are waterproof and will keep your hands warm in cold and wet weather. In every other aspect it's very uncomfortable. It has no breathability whatsoever; your skin will start feeling sweaty within minutes. The material has no grip, and there is nothing to improve grip along the fingers. Trying to hold a phone is useless. The 'touchscreen compatible finger' is sewn on, meaning that only the flat pad of your finger is usable for screens. The ridged edge makes your fingertips unusable. There is no hem along the wrist. Taken together with the gripless fingers, it's quite difficult to pull the second glove you wear all the way down. I have no doubt the edges along the wrist would quickly start to fray. Two stars awarded for doing what it says: keeping your hands warm and dry. Useless for anything else you might need your hands for. I do not recommend buying this product.
