Well, had my first cold weather commute this morning; 38F or so. I layered the gloves under my regular slightly-too-big mitts, so that area was warm, but the ends of my fingers were cold the whole way I'm not sure if it was the cold or the tourniquet effect of the tight fingers. They are definitely waterproof; my hands were nearly dripping when I took them off, and I had to turn them inside out so they'd dry.

They're definitely better than bare skin, but I'm not sure they're perfect. I wonder about those dishwashing gloves from the dollar store; they're nice and thick...
