I picked up a pair of the WXB gloves a couple years ago based on Cam's glowing 2014 review. I like but don't love them. I wear them around freezing, too cold for regular gloves but not cold enough for big insulated gloves, and don't use them in the wet much. They do the job and have held up pretty well, and I have no plans to replace them. But, unlike Cam, I find the layers between fingers and between palm and bar to impart enough of a sloppy feeling to keep me from loving them. (Also, the wrist velcro never worked well and now barely works at all, which is annoying but only on the coldest days.) Maybe this is the minimum glove that's effective in the cold wet, but a little bulkier than necessary for cold dry, so the fact that you're using it for conditions closer to what it was designed for may explain why you love it and I merely like it.
