I got these for a present for cold weather walking. They are lightweight, stretchy and comfortable. However they are not for long term use in cold weather below 50 degrees. I used them on walks during a cold stretch on days that were on the mid to low 40 degree weather. My hands were somewhat pretty cold during my walks. When I walked in 50 plus degree weather, they were great, keeping my hands warm. I do recommend them however since they are well made, but just not for colder temps.

These are great lightweight gloves for keeping the chill out and extending your neon-ness down to your fingertips. The neon yellow is bright even after several washes, the fit it good, the material & construction are holding up, very nice! The touch pads work fine too, we’ll enough to be able to start/ stop my runs on my smartwatch.I wish these had snaps to keep the pair together when they’re not being worn (like when I peel them off 1/2 way thru a run, but they are also thin enough to just roll together like socks and stuff them in a pocket.

Bought these specifically for running in. Size wise I would say they come up a little on the large side. I am a size 9 in gloves normally and went for a large but a medium would have been a better choice. They are thin which is what I wanted but keep the chill off in all but the coldest weather.

I finally needed to retire another pair of New Balance sport gloves that were at least 10 years old and aren’t even on the market anymore; hence I chose these to replace those. Like my old, well-used ones these are lightweight and not cumbersome, and also only good to about 35F. Depending on how much colder it is outside I like to wear either fingerless or full gloves over them (inexpensive ones I picked up at the drugstore that would barely cover my wrists but work great for an extra layer – as long as they are the texting kind too), and roll the outer pair up or take them off entirely as I need to. I do tend to have poor circulation in my hands, especially in my fingertips, so I try to keep them from getting too cold. I don’t like my hands to get uncomfortably warm either, because then that is all I can think about while I am supposed to be concentrating on what my feet are doing. I wore these new ones for the first time this morning, and since it was 29F & windy I layered them. They were fine, though – I didn’t have to fight with buttons on my watch to get it to work or have my MP3 player repeat a song that I wanted to play again.

Bought these hoping they would have some insulating properties, hands get cold. Otherwise they work as described.

Exactly what you would expect from good running gloves: very thin and stretchy but still remarkably warm.

Have wore these once so far for a run. It was -7, feels like -13 when I ran and while they didn’t eliminate the cold entirely, the gloves definitely made it bearable. If you use these in the dead of winter then I don’t think they’ll keep you all that warm but up to -15 with wind chill seems to be quite bearable, esp once your blood starts pumping.In terms of touchscreen usability, it works great – no complaints. Based on the reviews I read I was ready to freeze my hands but that didn’t happen at all, and I usually run in -30 wind chill so I was pleasantly surprised with the gloves.

Great gloves! As described. I don’t have thick’s hands, but long ones and I found the wrists were snug.This is good in that they won’t slip off, but also make it so that you have to be careful in taking them off.Another review said they were delicate and by pulling hard you can tear the threads. I believe it… so am careful.Love them tho!

The dragonfly color that looks orange is actually more like salmon or coral color. More pink than I expected. Otherwise, these are great.

Great for spring or fall if you need to use your phone while you’re outdoor

They looked really small when I opened the package. Once they were on, they felt good because they are stretchy. They’re cute, comfortable and do the trick.

These gloves are very nice, light and comfortable. They are not super warm for Canadian winters so I wear them as a first layer to my other gloves, but they are warmer than regular liners. The touchscreen works very well. The fit is right, my hand is small (I am 5’2) and these gloves are a bit longer for the size of my fingers, but not too much so no issues with the size.

These are lightweight gloves and are good for their intended use. I would recommend.
