can anyone vouch for the waterproofness of these? i'm looking for a warm and waterproof glove for scrambling through wet tussock and snow in New Zealand when tahr hunting.

Ozy,
 I had a pair which worked as advertised. I used a tab for shooting even with the gloves on, with practice of course. Depending of your activity level, you'll get some condensation moisture in the glove as would be the case with any impermeable material. Hope this is helpful.

Ozy if you are referring to the neoprene gloves that come past your wrist then yes they are waterproof and if you get the polypropylene liners they are warm.They do have a rubber grip on the outside of the glove in the palm. I would recommend a size bigger than your hand as they can be tight fitting. I have used them duck hunting and striper fishing in very very cold water and they are great.

i was thinking of the nordic pair on their website.
