I bought the gloves at the end of December 2017, three pairs in total (durable liner, merino liner and shell). In focus, I also use the Durable Liner for photographing in adverse, cold weather conditions. Except for the operation of my cameras and my smartphone, they are not exposed to any stress, so NO gardening/work gloves...
In the past few days and weeks I've also been wearing Durable Liners without the shell a lot. They are significantly more wind-resistant than, for example, the Merino liner and overall a little warmer and have a better grip... After a good six (6) weeks of use, there is nothing to complain about in terms of the material. I basically wear the Durable Liner solo when the temperature is around 0° and I also wear it when using my smartphone and camera.
The thermal performance of the durable liner is good, you can wear it alone down to 0° C without any problems. The touchscreen functionality is impeccable, both on the smartphone (iPhone8) and on all my cameras. Together with the shell they are still too warm for me, but we only had single-digit minus temperatures at the moment...
