- Are these gloves actually waterproof?
- Yes. Columbia builds them with a waterproof, breathable softshell membrane, so wet snow and light rain bead off. Seams and the cuff are the usual weak points in prolonged soaking.
- How warm are they?
- They are mid-weight insulated gloves, suited to active winter use like hiking and commuting. They are not a substitute for a heavily insulated ski glove or mitt in extreme cold.
- Do the touchscreen fingertips work with all phones?
- They are designed for capacitive touchscreens, which covers most smartphones. Some owners report inconsistent taps, especially with cold or dry fingers.
- How should I choose a size?
- The gloves come in XS through XL. Several owners say they run small, so if you are between sizes or plan to wear a liner, consider sizing up.
- Can I wear them for skiing?
- They work for mild ski days and cross-country skiing, but downhill skiers who run cold will want a warmer, more insulated glove.
- What are they made of?
- A polyester softshell with neoprene at the cuff, plus synthetic insulation and a soft lining.
