I wore those gloves in today- my conclusion is that they are a bit out of their depth in this mornings temperatures.
The windproof "lobster" element did keep the fingers warmer than they otherwise would haev been, but I lost feeling in both thumbs as they were unprotected.
However, when I arrived at the coffee shop being able to remove the lobster bits led meant that I could get change out of my pocket/operate my wallet, both of which are tricky with "full" witner gloves.
I think in conclusion that these gloves would have been great on Sunday, when it was a bit brisk early on, with a lot of wind chill, but for todays much colder weather they are being asked questions that they cannot answer.
