I really like them as an alternative to a liner glove. These are the hardshell waterproof version with a standard winter glove underneath. No problem at all on the brakes, and I have bar end shifters which makes life easier as well. I think they could work with STI levers but would take a bit more getting used to.
Couple of inches of snow on the ground here, options being considered.

Today was a day of doubles. Double gloves, double buff, double over shoes and doubling down on getting this thing done.
The layer of cloud overnight seemed to have warmed things enough to stop the Peak resembling an icy waste land. The lack of ice coupled with light winds and no rain meant it felt like the right day to go as long as time permitted. Bagged another 135km leaving just another 150km to go.
We are due to be hit with snow overnight though. Loops of the reservoir down the hill could be the fall back, 10 laps a day should do it.
