Keeps your soft gloves dry on the mountain
Got these at the start of mountaineering season as a quick waterproof layer to pull on over lighter gloves for wet weather and when the grade gets steep enough to need a hand contacting the snow/ice. Also great for knocking off wind in cooler conditions where you don't want to pull on a bulkier glove for protection. Got caught in some flash rain on Mt St Helens first time out, and they saved us having to swap out gloves repeatedly. No fuss, fewer stops. Combine with a light fleece glove and you've covered for anything over 40 degrees
So lightweight I always bring them.
I take these out trail running and hiking in fall/winter because they pack away to nothing in my pack or shorts pocket, and I can throw them on over my liner gloves if it gets wet/cold/super windy.
Another Great OR Product
Outdoor Research Helium Rain Mittens are super light weight, block the wind and are a great add on for the shoulder seasons or when it is raining. On a recent wet trek, I layered them over thin merino gloves, and they kept my hands bone-dry through and warm through hours of rain.

These are perfect for cold-weather cycling. Windproof, and your fingers are kept together for warmth.
