'ONLY AVERAGE'
Strengths:
Appeared good value, seem fairly resilient
Weaknesses:
Not sufficiently flexible, not particularly warm and have leaked. Very difficult to put on with cold wet hands.
Overall:
I expected more from Mountain Equipment, particularly as so may of their products are excellent. Keep in my pack now in reserve.

'VERY AVERAGE'
Strengths:
Decent Value
Weaknesses:
Not waterproof, not very warm, hard to get on if hands damp
Overall:
Bought these thinking they would tick all the right boxes AND they were made by the normally brilliant ME,but I was wrong. Used them in snow/rain on Ben Nevis and my hands got very cold and wet. Sent them back to ME, got a replacement but now have lost confidence to use them in anything more than wind and drizzle, more of a valley glove than mountain glove. Sorry.

'GOOD VALUE, BUT WORTH SPENDING A BIT MORE ON GORTEX.'
Strengths:
Cheap, pretty robust good for general use.
Weaknesses:
Not as waterproof as claimed. Mine leaked after a couple of hours in the rain. Not really warm enough for extremes (e.g. skiing -15 degrees) - hard to get on when damp.
Overall:
Not a bad glove, but I would spend the extra and get Gortex.

'A DECENT BUY'
Strengths:
They feel nice and snug, are pre-curved and I do find the the elasticated wrist really does make them feel like the elements are not getting in whatsoever. Also the grips really do grip (nice beylaying gloves by the way)
Weaknesses:
Cold spots can develop around the fingers at about 3'C
Overall:
They feel nice and robust and sit up the forearm a bit which is a nice bot of warmth. worth the money
