I had these recommended to me in-store, as an ideal glove to run in when it's colder.
All the other gloves I've ever run, or done activities in, have caused my hands to sweat.
These seem to let some wind through, but not too much, so that your hands get to breathe, while they do maintain a good temperature.
I've run around 15 times in them so far, in temperatures between 1 to 9 degrees, for times between 40 and 90 minutes, and they've been excellent. They've even put up with light rain without my hands getting wet (I cut that run short though!).
You can't operate an iPhone screen with them, but that's a very minor point.
I'm not sure how these would cope below freezing, but I'll be finding out in the next few weeks I would imagine.....the assistant in-store said that to keep your hands warm as it gets colder, you just make a fist.
They aren't too thick either, which means you can still do a pair of laces up, and secure rucksack straps and clips with them on.
I'd heartily recommend these for running in - they weren't the cheapest, or the most expensive glove - just the pair that one of the assistants at Peterborough thought I'd get on with. He wasn't wrong.
I probably won't run without these now until the spring/summer.
I can't see how you could be disappointed buying these - or even getting them as a present! :)
