These gloves are very well built and very comfortable. They are warmer than a single purpose vented glove would be but I've worn it in 85 degree weather and had no issues.
I recently rode in a downpour and it kept me dry for a while but when I parked my hands were definitely damp. I think it wasn't the waterproofing itself, but that I was getting water leaking in through the cuff and then it was wicking back up the glove because my hands were only slightly damp.
I'll have to tighten the cuff down more next time. I will also do a dunk test to verify that it is waterproof and edit if it works out.

wondering about the added bulk of having the Gore-Tex layer stashed in 'Air' mode. If it's hanging out against the top of your hand, doesn't that negate some of the airflow coming in from the vents? Is the bulk noticeable/distracting?
It does negate some of the air flow coming through, the bulk itself isn't noticeable or distracting at all though. Its very comfortable.
