The gloves are generally well-received, with many customers praising their warmth, waterproofing, and durability. Parents report the gloves keep their children's hands dry and warm during outdoor winter activities. The gloves are easy for kids to put on and the extended cuffs help seal out cold air. However, some customers have had issues with the gloves not being truly waterproof, with the palms and fingers getting wet after extended use. There were also some concerns about the gloves not holding up well over time, with the palms and fingers wearing out or ripping.
My husband needed serious gloves for shoveling snow. These keep his hands warm and dry. While they fit him, he wishes they were a little bit bigger, as he has long fingers. But

No waterproof at all
Fit: True to size
My son has used these a couple times to play in the snow and the water goes right through them. They are not waterproof at all. Terrible.

not waterproof at all
Fit: True to size
These gloves get soaking wet on the inside. It's appalling that they claim its waterPROOF. Also, the plastic palm pieces rip and wear-out quickly.
