We live in Wyoming, where it snows 9 months out of the year. Good winter gear is VITAL. These XL gloves are not only very cool looking, but they are extremely flexible compared to other similar gloves. You can actually work outside because you aren't sacrificing dexterity.
These are listed as waterproof, but they feel more like water-resistant to me. I looking forward to having my husband try them out when we take the kids sledding!
