Yes, it's 20% Resistance to both Speed and Recharge Debuffs.|

Yes, the appearance of the icon is wonky and not to be trusted.
Yes, it's always on once slotted unless you exemplar more than three levels under the level of the enhancement.
It works by reducing the amount of -Recharge or -Speed by 20%. It is not status protection, just resistance.
If you have Fly, put it there, since Fly doesn't need a Fly enhancement to hit the flightspeed cap. Otherwise, burn a enhancement slot and put it into any old travel power you have in order to carry it.
You get complete protection from slow debuffs and immob mezzing by taking Teleport, which isn't affected by such things.
Geas of the Kind Ones is an excellent remedy for being hit with -Recharge.

Winter's Gift IO recipe = global, so always on (with typical global exceptions.)
Instead of relying on icons, look at your combat attributes (Powers - Combat Attributes.) Debuff Resistance: Recharge Time Resist: 20% from Winter's Gift Slow Resist.
The ones I most often take it on are Khelds, and slot it (and 3 resists) in White Dwarf. *shrug* Put it where it fits for you.
Thanks Zombie, and another doh! to me for forgetting tp 
And thanks Bill, it was your guide that convinced me I need WG so prepared to do a lot of present opening come christmas. I learnt to hate email as I sent canes to my lower lvl toons to try and get the lowest lvl possible recipes.
Hey devs, stack salvage in emails? Sometimes I'd like to just play the game :P
I'd seen it in my combat attributes, but wondered if the slow movement resist wasn't working -guess 20% less with double stacked glue is still a lot.
Now to work out which toons NEED the protection -and yes my ws and pb have claimed one each.

Heh. I went and loaded up on candy canes - I've got a little level 10 character I keep at that level JUST for stuff like this. Picked up five of the WG Slow Resist recipes - already have a few claimed. I actually need more (they're helpful for so many characters.)

Fly is a good place to toss it now, since Fly's speed is so high it caps itself without slotting.

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

Another good candidate is recall friend.
A lot of characters of mine picked up that power, after inherent stamina respecs. Just to use it as a WG mule.

I have plenty of chars with Fly that's either unslotted or slotted with a knockback IO (and in one instance a Winter's Gift) who are still blue-capped in the combat attributes window.
