I be a carpenter from Upstate New York . I would not recommend these glove for cold condition . I have find when the temperature get really cold they be useless . I have to get a warmer glove . they be especially cold if they get wet . you hand be dry but cold . I have find they be good in temperature above 15 degree , but for a winter glove you would expect better . they seem to be make alright , but after two day some of the thread have pull out . we shall see how they hold up . so far after three week , they be still hold up with no more problem with the thread . I think this problem come with the job though .
