I hope they're as good as we painted them to be.

I'll let you know!! If they're as good as the other surplus kit I've got, they'll do just fine.

Here you go

Are these good in cold and wet conditions ? Presume you can manipulate zips/compass/turn on - stove etc when wearing them ?

Like others who have responded, I've found sealskinz to be great. I've used them for cycling throughout the winter for a few years and they're still going strong. They can be difficult to put on well if your hands are wet, but I guess the trick is not taking them off when you're outside in the rain!

Have you tried them out yet? I've read mixed reviews on Sealskinz.

Note: a lot of the bad reviews of sealskinz are coming from the fake copies out there. Those for sale on Amazon, and some other outlets are fake copies, and thus not as good as the real ones.

Real Sealskinz of the waterproof type are as waterproof as it gets (sadly not in anyway cheap but each pair i have had have lasted over 5 years so it pans out), SS do sell non waterproof gloves you gotta check the tech description on their site for each type and they are rated 1-5, 1 being wool or fleece gloves as waterproof as wool or fleece is and 5 being impenetrable to liquid, i bought these level 5 a couple of weeks ago and they are completely waterproof (hopefully they will also last more than 5 years and it will be money well spent), i dry mine hanging open on my brake levers and usually the next day they are bone dry inside and out as where i keep my bikes has a steady breeze/draft. I have found these new gloves to be too warm to use above 10c even if it is raining cats and dogs, even when wet outside they are still usable, only impossible thing about them is trying to put them on with wet or wet and cold hands due to the thermal inner area gripping your flesh like velcro, it's a PITA if you take them off and your hands are either sweating or get wet from the weather and then you try and put them back on. I have 2 pairs of level 4 gloves with varying thermal ratings for different times of the year which are also totally waterproof, outside gets wet and does take a bit to dry out, best done in a breeze rather than using heat like on the radiator which Sealskinz advise will negate your warranty.

Other gloves i've found great are my Gul 5mm neoprene that i bought for kayaking, different kind of waterproof protection and warm as hell
