Odd proportions
To start off, I have square hands:
My palms are 4"x4" and my middle finger is 4" long.
A MD fits me very well except in volume. The hard knuckle across the top is actually a little wider than my hand, so the hard knuckle pulls at the sides when I close my hand in these gloves. For that reason, I might want to size up to a LG, except I wouldn't want the fingers any longer.
In a MD, my index, middle, and ring fingers all fit comfortably with a little room (good for cold-weather insulation), but the pinky is right up at the end, and hence, has compresses the insulation there and gets cold. Furthermore, the thumb is very long on the gloves. When holding my hand up flat (like I'm going to Judo-chop Random Task) my thumb comes up just past my big knuckle on my index finger. The tip of the glove's thumb extends past the second knuckle, leaving almost a full 1" flopping about. I have embarrassing honked my horn accidentally more than once because of this. When holding the controls, the thumb isn't as crazy-long, but it still leaves you wondering who A-stars' hand-model was for the gloves...
Those are the only concerns though. The gloves are solid without being restricting and keep me warm up to freeway speeds in near freezing temperatures. (I have a strong cold-tolerance though. I'm still riding today with weather in the single-digits, so maybe they are more like 40+ gloves on average.)
Decent reflectivity also helps in the short daylight months.
All-in-all, a good glove, despite slightly odd finger lengths.
