These are currently my favourite Winter gloves - just been using them in Rjukan for some ice climbing and they were fantastic - dry, warm(ish) and plenty of dexterity. I also like the liners - close fitting, and the velcro patches on the wrist tend to stick to the arms of my base layer, which means no chilly gaps :)
