Warmth is the name of the game, but not all of us like the restriction that comes from over-the cuff-gloves, which is why we are lucky enough to have the Oakley Rafter Gloves. All the benefits of the larger version like Hydrogauge™ to keep water at bay and Thinsulate® insulation to keep the warmth in and the cold out without having to be over-the-cuff.
