I have purchased 2 pairs of these gloves. One pair I sent back due to a manufacturer defect (they are made in Pakistan, not that that matters), and Amazon promptly refunded my money upon my returning the product (the fingers of one glove were stitched too tightly). The other pair I kept, and have been using for several weeks now in an Upstate NY Winter, where I live in the middle of about 1,000 acres. I bought them partly based on the product description, and partly on the reputation of DeWalt products, whose tools are high quality. These gloves are well-designed for tough use, and should hold up to "work wear." I like everything about them ***EXCEPT*** that they used regular polyester fill for the insulation. Thus, I find that in very cold temps (below +20 F.) these gloves are just not able to keep my fingers warm. I am constantly having to "ball" them up into fists, at regular intervals, to keep them warm. In moderate, higher temps, this should not be a problem. So, I give them 3 stars out of a possible 5. I hope that DeWalt will in the future choose *Thinsulate* or similar material instead. I would be willing to pay a little more for better insulation. Had they done so, I would recommend them without hesitation. But if you need *extreme* cold weather gloves, or will be using them on a snowmobile--be warned--these gloves are NOT up to that kind of challenge.

Finally, a pair of gloves that delivers as promised. I wanted Waterproof and Insulated Gloves. These are both. There are patches of rubber or synthetic material on the palm and fingers. The material protects the gloves, but also helps with grip on the steering wheel as I am driving. There is no claim as to temperature rating, and my use has been primarily in the 20 - 30 degree f range, but these are PLENTY warm for use in those conditions. Durability is not a question, these will last a long time. Oddly, the cuff length is pretty high. There is enough room to put them over the cuff of my jacket. If you work out of doors, especially around snow that melts, that creates moisture and you have a real need to stay warm, these are well, well worth the money.
I bought these for my son who was working construction over the winter. He said they were the best Christmas present he ever received. They keep his hands toasty for prolonged periods of exposure to very cold temperatures and wind. His only complaint is that his hands sweat a bit when he's working hard. But, hey... a small price to pay to save your fingers!'
