I thought so too, but found that the moisture from a cpl breaths is insignificant, but the warming effect IS significant. so the trade off works for me. forgot my winter cycling gloves Saturday & wound up using the lighter back up gloves I had with me, cotton football fan gloves & a pair of glove liners. everything was great until I reached my turnaround at a small lake where I snacked w/o gloves. it was 30 degrees & windy. by time I started back my hands were too cold for comfort. I warmed them & my gloves with my breath & it worked quite well, as usual
