I received this as a gift.  I own another pair of regular Isotoner gloves.  This pair seems more insulated and is waterproof, which I like.  However, they seem to be more constricting than my other pair and I have pretty small hands, so I am it sure how this would feel to women with larger hands.  I've wore them a few time to break them in but the tight feeling is still there, hopefully they will "loosen" up over time.
