Based on other reviews, I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised.  I ordered the XXL size based on other reviews saying that these gloves run small.  I wear a woman's size 8 or men's medium glove.  The XXL gloves were a little bit large, but should be perfect after they shrink in the wash.  I will use these as sleep gloves after applying a wonderful emollient called Balm Bag that is designed to sooth and heal cows udders but works really well on extremely dry skin and cuticles.  My husband will use them as hand protectors when he polishes metals. These gloves are knit, not woven, and are too thin to use as dress gloves.
