Excellent quality
O'DubhGhaill: 
I'm still testing these, but they seem to work well by themselves in moderate temps, upper 30's to 40's, when active, but the lack of leather on the fingers limits their use somewhat. I am going to try them as a liner with an OR shell set -- slim fit of these gloves leads me to think they will work quite well in this application. As with all Arc'teryx products, quality goes without saying.
Great all around
Minimag47: 
I love the Polartec Powershield material this glove is made of. The glove is warm, durable, very flexible, and just about 100% snow proof. It's not perfect mind you, it's not 100% windproof, and it's water proofness isn't as good as a shell material but Powershield was never meant for harsh weather. Regardless of the mild detractions these are excellent gloves. Very dexterous, warm, and tough. If you don't mind spending this kind of money for a mid-level glove these are worth it.
Overpriced
sidd: 
These gloves we not quite what i was expecting for the price. Their wind resistance was not that great (25mph+ gusts blew right through, with a liner underneath.) The fit was nice and tight but they were a little bulkier than I had imagined - I had a bit of difficulty dialing on my cell phone or digging into pockets with these on. The leather on the palms does not extend up to the fingertips, making grip not so great where it matters for delicate work. The construction was good however - small seams on the inside, nice pull loop, decent cuff size, etc. Overall a disappointment for the price point - these gloves would have been pretty solid for 30 dollars or so.
Love this glove!
emarone:
This glove works great in just about every situation I've used it for. They're dry, windproof and warm enough to use alone for spring skiing or other cool weather activities, but thin and breathable enough to wear around town or as a liner.They're snug and relatively thin compared to other gloves with the same "specs", so they don't inhibit handling keys, opening a ski rack, or dialing a phone. Plus, they look great with any jacket: fleece, Gore-tex, wool or leather.
Do the job
DrJ:
Just like the other 10 Capilene items I own, it does the job of providing warmth and dryness extremely well.
