Have only had them for a month, but so far so good. You can feel the quality when you hold them and they look amazing. They are great for working or for adding some flare to a wardrobe. Good in cold weather, haven't had them long enough to try in freezing weather, but I am optimistic they'll be fine. Be sure to measure your hand and follow the sizing instructing Hooke have on their website. I ended up with a pair too big and had to exchange them - which was a breeze!! Looking forward to breaking them in a little, but I have to admit I love them thus far. Would highly recommend.
