As good as is reasonable to expect from winter golf gloves
The fact that we need winter gloves on cold windy days comes with inherent tradeoffs. You can have warm hands or good gripping touch, but you can't get 100% of both. I got these gloves about a month before I needed to wear them, and today was the first day to try them out. New Jersey, 38 degrees, sunny, steady 15 mph wind. These gloves aren't inexpensive. They are well-made and remarkably close in feel to a typical warm day dedicated golf glove. I've used the FJ winter gloves and they are too thick for me to feel like I am gripping the club securely. I can grip the club securely with these. The weak aspect of these gloves is that they do not warm my fingertips sufficiently, so I guess that is where some of the tradeoff is. However they are better than no gloves at all in the wind and cold. Once you place these gloves on your hands you don't want to mess with removing them once you get around the green, because they fit snug ...as they should. I never got the feel of rolling putts with these on my first day today, and my speed control was definitely compromised. I was able to take the gloves off by the 13th hole today and my putting improved immediately.
To sum up, these are the best winter/wind gloves I have ever owned...even with the tradeoffs. If you want to play on cold and windy days, just have reasonable performance and outcome expectations, because a pair of gloves can only help so much.
