Cons:
horrible insulation
Best Uses:
in the car, watching climbing movies in your house
i brought these on a 5400 meter climb in the Andes, i froze! it wasnt even that cold but i couldnt move my fingers. i know i have poor insulation, but my thin, in camp gloves were warmer.

Bulky, not even warm
Best Uses:

miserable. i never learn... i always bring out my mammut scholler gloves (AMAZING) and when they get too wet and cold i toss on the OR Alti gloves... every time i wish i'd left on the cold damp Mammut ones. (typical use: alpine ice and waterfall ice)
