Great gloves

Just bought a pair of these for cycling to work in cold weather. Very nice gloves. Good insulation but also thin, which is great for dexterity. One thing is that they do get damp inside on longer rides (an hour or longer), so it might not be wise to use these for many times per day for long periods of time. I wouldn't worry about it unless you were using these for like 5+ hours per day, in that case they might soak through and lose their insulation, but you could always just buy two pairs and switch them out. They do dry relatively quickly, so that's not a huge concern.
I am 5'10" with what I consider to be normal sized hands for my height and the large gloves fit perfectly. 6' or above I'd probably get XL (sorry can't help any larger than that), and if I were 5'7" or so medium would probably be right. The gloves are designed to fit tight, but not so tight to restrict range of motion. |

| These gloves are definately some of the best gloves I've ever owned. Living as far north as I do its important to have some good gloves on while your working in the winter and these do a great job. One of the greatest assests of the gloves in my opinion is the dexterity they give a person by the way they hug your fingers and aren't bulky. Your hands stay warm and dry almost no matter what. |

| I purchased these for cold weather cycling and was pleasantly surprised by the construction and materials in these gloves. I have used them only twice so far, but so far I like them very much. My only note is that (as another reviewer stated) they do run a tad small. I normally fit fine in XL gloves, but in this pair of XL's they were just a bit tight, which in gloves isn't a good thing. Had I opted for the next size up, I think they might be perfect. I'll use and abuse them in the meantime and I hope to pack down the insulation to give a slightly roomier fit over time. I have also used them for setting stakes on a cross country trail, and the palms give great traction and seem more durable than most. These would probably work well for the more abusive outdoor pursuits. |

I bought these gloves as a gift for my husband, who has a terrible time with cold and wet conditions when he has to be outside this time of year. He has not needed to use them more than once or twice so far, but he likes them very much, they fit him well and he finds them very comfortable. He came in from plowing the driveway and his hands were DRY and warm.
A very nice product. |

These are the best work gloves I've ever purchased. Truly waterproof and the gauntlet protects your wrist.They run on the small side so order the next size larger.
A little expensive but worth it in the long run especially in Chicago winters where you can get snow,sleet and rain combined. Both the palm and upper hand are padded
for extra protection but are flexible so that they are comfortable to use. |
