actually look at what you are buying here, these are obviously not insulated winter/ski gloves, yes they will likely keep your hands much warmer than not using anything or say a pair of standard mechinix gloves but they simply aren't ski/snowboarding gloves, those tend to be insulated with permaloft or some other type of actual insulation instead of just being made of a thicker material.
that said, since they windproof they should do a pretty good job of keeping your hands warm in most conditions as heat is lost through convection it can be REALLY surprising how much warmth can be added by a thin layer of windproof material.
beyond that "warmth" is also a pretty subjective term, women tend to run cooler than men in general just as an example, so it really depends on you as to how warm these are going to be....personally for all but the coldest snowiest days I'm usually pretty good with just a pair of leather work gloves i got from the hardware store and covered in snowseal.
really, these are not ski gloves, they are late fall/spring mountain biking gloves for bombing down wet and muddy trails during the shoulder seasons, do not expect them to be as warm as a traditional ski glove...doing so would be a bit silly...again though they (the mountain glove) will add quite a bit of warmth due to the windproof materials being used so should be a good deal warmer than other gloves of similar design...and should be suitable for shoulder season ski runs as well...depending on you as an individual.

TheIzzardKingWhat percentage of the MTB market even rides in wet muddy trails? You realize that destroys trials that volunteers work hard on and riding in mud absolutely destroys drivetrains?

LimeGreenYeti[moderated]. thats all the people that ride in vancouver, bellingham, all of UK. in vancouver we have a trail association with monthly meet ups and building days to maintain trails. i guess in the desert you would complain about kicking up dirt but here where people actually ride hard we realize we need to put the extra effort in to maintenance. also we have 44+inches of rainfall a year so its hard to find a days in the year that isnt raining. there are markets that ride in the rain and there are trail builders who do not have a stick up their ass about people riding their trails in the rain. in fact here we push people to ride in the wet because it makes you a better rider. practicing DH in the wet is the best thing you can do to prep for race season. no matter where you go, you're comfortable in the wet
