I've always had a gauntlet style of glove for cold or rainy days. I saw these and thought they looked cool. Hard to find elsewhere, and at such a great price. I got a medium like some of my older gloves, but these fit tight. I have long fingers and I guess thin, bony hands. I think they'll stretch in once I ride with them in the rain, but they're fairly tight in the tips of the fingers; though, the right hand pinky finger is loose. They seem to fit really well though, and don't make terrible seam imprints in my skin, so I'm keeping them and hoping they will stretch a bit. Very nice quality. So far I like these a lot.
