I wore mine a few times this winter, when it was going to rain all ride. As andy said, with neopreane it does not breath, so you end up with shrimp hands that smell if using them all day. However, if it's cold and raining they do keep your hands warm and the moisture inside is warmed from the heat of your hands.
99% of the time, I just wear pro team gloves, rain or no rain. As they breathe, keep me hands warm and are comfy. There good at keeping warm even if soaked, but I do sometimes change gloves mid ride. If it's cold and wet, then wear some proper waterproof big gloves. But for that area of 5-10 deg, the neoprene are useful. Pro team offer a wider range of use.
