Santa brought some inspirational Christmas presents this year. I'd even suspect he might have looked at my Amazon wish list.....These gloves are made for the outdoor sporting community and offered the promise of resistance to rain, dexterity and ability to manage small controls despite being wet. In my experience all of these promises are fulfilled together with one obvious extra. Despite being thin, they also keep your hands warm, doing a decent job of being wind proof.They are a slim fit and allow the cuff to be tightened in using velcro and once worn are soon forgotten. There haven't been many times that I've needed to take them off to gain dexterity. Removing one Lee Seven5 filter from the holder while leaving one in place was tricky but seemed to get easier.Too soon to comment on how hard wearing they are but so far they seem the ideal glove for photographers working in standard British conditions. I suspect that they may be slipped under large mitts in extreme cold conditions but no opportunity to try as yet.
