These are really a great pair of winter gloves. I would consider myself a light to medium user. I don't work outside, I just use these around the house. The gloves in my photos are 15 months old and have survived 2 winters.

I purchased a medium and these are a good fit for me. I do tend to have small hands, but usually need to buy a medium in work gloves. I guess they are supposed to be a little tight, because they are considered work gloves. Mine were really stiff the first few month of use, but gave way. The second year around (2018 snow days) they are my now my winter go to gloves.

These gloves are warm and block the wind better than expected. My fingers easily get cold, but not with these gloves. I use them for all my outside activities include putting up Christmas decorations, etc. Sometimes they are too warm, like when shoveling snow - my hands actually sweat a little. I don't mind - the inside is warm and very comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

All in all, great purchase. I like Mechanix gloves - they provide good protection and are built to last.
