Excellent gloves! I purchased these cloves to go with my Columbia winter coat. They are a good match. They are made of a good material, but do run somewhat large. I originally purchased a medium, but had to return for a small. I always wear a medium, but also needed a small when purchasing the Columbia winter coat and summer rain jacket - both in a small are a good fit. I guess Columbia products just run large. The small are still a bit larger than expected when compared to some of the work gloves I have.

The gloves felt a little stiff at first, but gave way in a few weeks. They do keep my hands warm, but I only use them for going back and forth to work, getting gas and trips to my mail box. They were exactly what I was looking for. The grip is like some of my other gloves - it's sort of slippery, but seems to be tear resistant and works great at making a quick snowball.

All in all, great purchase. I love Columbia products...
