If you plan on doing any mixed climbing or mountaineering with this jacket, don't bother. Contrary to the description this was recommended to me as a mountaineering jacket and the weight and lack of breathability definitely were detractors to some of the positives of this jacket. The waterproofing was very good, as mine survived sixteen hours of straight climbing in the snow at Lassen Peak, but the breathability caused me to remain cold (even with a good base and insulating layer). I could definitely see this being a good ski jacket, and the hood is awesome on this thing, made me reluctant to trade it in for the Patagonia shell I have now.

Took these out this March to the Palisades (Sierra-Nevada Palisades) and got what I expected out of a windproof glove: exactly that. They are sized a little big but fit my hands perfect, as I have big palms and stubby fingers. Repels snow fairly well, so long as you keep moving (NOT WATERPROOF, nor do they claim to be). Overall a good glove, comfortable, and excellent wind protection. The dexterity of these gloves is also remarkable. I love mine.
