I used them Saturday. They worked pretty good. You dont have to take your gloves off for anything so that is a plus. I would if I got a flag but that didnt happen but everything else you were good. It was really windy so got a little cold but put in my hand muff and gloves dried off so I was set. They are def. waterproof. I put my hand right in the water and nothing. I dont know if they are worth 50-60 but pretty good.
