Sizing Issue

I have only worn my gloves for three bicycle rides, and only one of those was in a light rain. However, I think I can report the gloves are warm and well made. I like the fact that I don’t feel the seams wearing sore spots in my hands; and I like the way the gloves allow me to grasp small items. The orange color and reflective strips are comforting when riding my bike next to a busy traffic lane.

That said, I suggest buyers consider ordering a full size larger than they usually wear. For example, I usually wear size “large” gloves, but I ordered these gloves in “extra large” and still found them to be snug. I will never understand why clothing and shoe manufacturers cannot adhere to a standardization of sizes; but a “large” in these gloves would be a “medium” in most other brands.

The size issue is the only reason I did not offer five stars.

Update (2/7/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Not as good as they seem.
In view of this should be water, somehow, after work with them in the rain for a few hours my hands would always end up never too dry. They manage to keep your hands warm, however. They are good for maybe an hour or two, but if you go outside to work, then they lose their effectiveness after a certain time.
