These budget gloves are quite warm though they don’t compare with thicker (and much more expensive) ones. The outer fabric is stiffer than on other gloves but the lining is nice and soft and feels instantly warm. The reinforcements cover the whole palm and inner fingers though not the finger tips. The cuff s are gauntlet style and non-adjustable and so best pulled over jacket sleeves unless the latter are quite wide. The gloves are described as waterproof and they are. No mention is made of them being breathable and they aren’t. My hands can get sweaty quickly in these gloves. Given the cost and the use of non-brand materials I wouldn’t expect these gloves to last as long as more expensive ones. However for occasional use or for carrying as spares they are fine.
