I expected these to be soft due to the material, but the comfort is even more than I thought.  I have a pain disorder and am always achy.  The thing I love about the fit of these is that they can be slouchy on your arms, but the wrist to hand section is more fitted and helps them to stay put.  I have small hands and the thumb section fits comfortably snug up to my knuckle, and the same for the rest.  You can easily move your fingers, but your palm stays toasty.  I also love the color! I bought the peacock, and I am so happy that I am going to order some other colors as well.  With all the black and grey in my wardrobe, these will perk things up a bit, especially when the New England winter seems endless and dreary.
