I drive a school bus.  On cold mornings these are nice to have because I have to push buttons, write with a pen, use my cell phone, etc....Don;t expect these to be heavy duty and long lasting.  You should be able to see by looking at them that they are not made for that.  They are not work gloves.  Theyre rag wool so if you beat on em they will fray.  That's just the way it is.  They are comfortable and warm.  I have large hands and these fit great.  If a woman with tiny hands got these they'd be too large, I'm sure.
