I have wear a pair of these glove for three winter now intermittently for construction work and they be just start to go . I have go through many pair of cheaper brand in the interim , and find that these be worth the extra money . I have also use other brand that have Kevlar stitch which work well but cost more do not hold up any better . these be the perfect combination of dexterity and warmth . they be not `` hold you hand under a faucet '' waterproof but they keep out rain and snow . I often wear another pair of insulate leather glove over these if it be really cold and remove they to grab nut and screw , etc. . I have try the rest and I be come back for my second pair of ccg .
