Very disappointed after reading all the great reviews. I was surprised how bulky the gloves were, they looked thin and elegant online. They also looked stylish, but they are more "skeletal" when you try them on. The design is confusing and looks lopsided. Stitching is uneven, suede strips were crooked. There is a LOT of bulk in the finger tips from poor workmanship (enormous seam allowances), giving you that feeling that the gloves are "never quite on." Removing them is a process too because you have to hold the lining in the finger tips or you will be hopelessly tangled the next time you want to wear them. I assumed spandex meant that they would have a broader size range, but they will not fit a small. Bad buy. Not sure why the ratings have been so high. They do have a soft lining. Not a great warmth/bulk ratio and not very comfortable though.
