great for blocking the wind, not water-resistant
I bought these gloves following advice from a friend, who rides her bike to work every day during the winter as well. My hands tend to get really cold, and I had tried several gloves in the past, with poor results. The Mammut Shelter Ultimate Gloves are much better than any other glove I tried before. They completely stop wind, and my hands do not freeze while being outdoors for prolonged periods of time. They fit snugly and make your hands less clumsy than your usual winter glove does. The fold-back openings are a cool feature as well. The only thing that prevented me from giving them five stars is that last week I walked with them during a storm, and they turned out not to be completely waterproof. My hands were not soaked, but they were definitively wet.
