Waterproofing
From maker's figures 4/10How well they keep your hands dry and the wind out, from how they are made. 4: A bit below average.
Sealskinz sells it as water repellent, not waterproof: a Nanosealz treatment on the polyester, with no membrane. That is the 'water-repellent finish only' band. Its own page says nothing about wind protection (its shop tags mention windproof, its copy does not).
In short
Good for
- Cool, mostly dry days: dog walking, town and easy hill walks, where Sealskinz pitches it as a thin stand-alone glove or an inner glove

- Nanosealz water-repellent treatment that Sealskinz calls lifetime water repellency
- Sticky S-shaped grip print and touchscreen-compatible fingertips

Weaknesses
- Sizing is inconsistent: several reviews say it runs big or the fingers are long
- A few reviewers say it smells when wet and doesn't wash out
- Sealskinz publishes no weight
