Just got these gloves the other day and am very impressed.

These gloves purport to be 100% waterproof (haven't tested that claim yet). They fit great, they're thin, and they are very warm! I was concerned when I first got them that they were too warm - and they are for anything over about 65-70 degrees F. But this morning I rode in 30 degrees F with them and my hands were still nice and warm even at 80MPH. They are about 1/4 the thickness of my previous cold weather gloves and just as warm. Well worth the $40 or so that I paid from them.

Any chance that you could post a picture? I have been trying out gloves for a month trying to find good thin winter gloves and they do not exist.

I bought a pair and took them back. Either the palm area or the fingertip area wasn't deep enough. When gripping the bars I couldn't fully extend my fingers (ran out of room at the tips)

I've have a pair that I no longer use. My pair at least were not water proof. At first I thought it was because I left them outside my rainsuit, but then I would also make sure that they were tucked into the rain suit, but still my hands would be soaked anytime I rode in the rain that lasted for more than a short period of time, plus I hated the liner - if your hands are damp (ie you pull over after it has started to rain - you will have a heck of a time getting them on)

Now that I've totally trashed the gloves hopefully you will have better experiences with them then I did
