“"Lavawool" is a little optimistic”

“I live in ND/MN, and was hoping for something lava-like to keep my hands warm. Granted, it wasn't fair that the first time I wore them, it was around -20. Also, I'm not a skier or a runner, I've only tried them in everyday situations. However, I've had them for a couple of weeks now and I have several gripes. First, the pros: Comfortable (soft), attractive, lightweight, easy on/off, good finger dexterity, breathable But the cons: -I have wide, stubby hands; the large fits fine in width but the fingers are still short by 1/4 inch or so. -the nicest weather I've tried them was about 20 degrees; they only delayed cold hands by 10 min or so. -I haven't found them to do much about blocking the wind -the lining isn't connected to the palm, so when I'm holding the steering wheel or shifting, the glove (which has a nice palm material for gripping) grips and my hand slides around inside the glove in a rather disconcerting manner. -keep the outer shell away from the "hook" part of velcro; it grabs right on and makes an ugly patch in a moment All in all, I could see this as a good 30-50 degree glove, or cooler if you're exerting yourself, but I don't feel like they live up to their name in the actual cold.”
