Wore my gloves surfing this weekend and they were a success. I stayed warm and I liked how the wrists were snug. The gloves are warm inside and kept the water and the wind out. Happy I have them, I was tired of my fingers turning blue in cold water. I am impressed how inexpensive they are compared to other brands that sell basically the same glove for twice the amount of money. I was in about 69 degree water. I also use my wetsuit wash on them and it keeps them from drying out and they don't get smelly.
