Good glove minor flaw
I purchased these gloves about two years ago during an Ohio winter. Gloves are warm, comfortable, and transmit the heat from my heated grips well without transmitting the cold. The only negative I have for these gloves is that if your hands are wet, the liner pulls out of each finger when you remove your hands. It's a real PITA to get the liners back into each finger as well. Overall a good product.

The size might be wrong
My glove size is Small, I have been wearing S size of Tecknic gloves with no problem. These Fieldsheer Polar Gloves with the tags show S size but very difficult to wear them on, they should be size XS or XXS. I got these gloves by redeeming a $20 gift card as a bonus from my previous purchase. The price of gloves was $22.99 for only S size available (that matching my glove size). Because I made payment with my bonus gift card so, the invoice only be printed those gloves price $2.99 + shipping. Who want to return them with a shipping cost higher than 5 bucks to get money back for only $2.99 ? (exchange not available cause by Small is only size left for clearance). I lost my free bonus gift card $20.+ shipping fee for these gloves and will sell them someday as garage sale to get $2.99 back without to pay one more time returning shipping cost.

Good gloves, but didn't keep me as warm as expected
I ride in Florida, and I wanted something that would keep my hands warm on the rare occasions it actually reaches the 30s or 40s. The gloves were are a little bulky, but that was to be expected for something with a thick liner. I did find myself struggling to get a full closed fist around the grips, but I'm sure they'll break in eventually. The interior is soft and plush, so that was good. I tested the waterproofing using a bucket for about 5 minutes, and my hands were dry. The gauntlet closure is pretty loose, even though I have it as tight as the velcro allows. I wear a size S, and have it over my jacket sleeve, and there is more free movement there than I would prefer. In the cold weather, however, I was very disappointed. I don't know if there are any gloves that can keep your hands warm in the 30s-40s all on their own (without heated grips), but these aren't it. I have a 15 minute commute mostly on an expressway (65-70mph), and my hands were painfully numb by the end. These did not fare much better than my Cortech Adrenalines, which are somewhat vented, and are not winter gloves by any means. I actually prefer giving up the minimal heat benefit of the Fieldsheers in order to get the better grip feel with the Cortechs. In the end, I would say the Fieldsheers are great rain gloves, and OK for cold weather above 50 degrees. Anything below that, however, and you should have heated grips or look elsewhere for gloves.

It doesn't get the job done. Went 9 miles and my hands were freezing! Very poor!

Great gloves
Great price, good protection, and good warmth. I was able to ride for 40 minutes in 25 degree weather and my fingers were comfortable for the first 30 minutes. I'd buy again.

Solid Cold & Waterproof Gloves
These have held up to moderate and light rain very well. I don't ride when it is solid pouring so have not word on that type of rain. I have worn down to 35 degrees and my fingers were getting a little cold after 20 minutes or so. They feel great at 40-65 degrees, may stay warmer at below freezing with a glove liner. I ordered a size larger than I usually would wear and fits great.

Polar Gloves
Very comfortable and works quite well. My only complaint is that the cool material starts a little low. I would prefer that the wind resistant material rise all the way above my mouth.

GOOD GLOVE GREAT VALUE
Originally purchased these while riding the winters of Ohio & PA. I've used them in temps down to 12 degrees F at 70mph and they performed well. Not bulky and allow you to feel the controls.

VERY NICE, but can't quite give all "5's" ...
VERY NICE gloves - the gauntlet isn't overly long, but it's long enough - not an issue for me - just something to be aware of if you prefer longer. The fingers are a little tight, especially with liners; that's my biggest "problem." I don't think my hands are that large - I originally orderd 2XL and had to return them for 3XL and they still aren't all that large, thus my "3" for fit - just average - definitely could be better in the fingers. I haven't used them TOO much yet, but they do seem like they will wear well. I really like the finish, including the reflective material and the hard knuckles. I was hoping they would work in colder weather - had to use liners even in the low 40's on a half-hour ride, but hands were OK with the liners - maybe I'm expecting too much? Overall though they are an excellent value - not a "mistake" to purchase, just be aware of the fit, and you might want more or better protection if the temperature is 40 or under.

Fieldsheer-Polar Glove
Sorry, had to send back because I usually wear a large glove, but ordered the XL after reading reviews, and was still too small, so ordered a 2XL and fits great.
