As "overgloves" certainly very useful - they look chic. If you only wear these gloves, everything is not recommended below zero, since you very quickly freezes on their hands and they offer no protection. In approximately -5 degrees (windy) I did not even feel at all to wear gloves - you can probably also be described as "breathable". Size M was too small, L is just as suitable (for "normal", rather thin male hands). Thanks brand name you pay as always about 50% premium over equivalent alternatives.
