3.0 out of 5 starsWho has fingers like this?! But overall, pretty good.

I live in Denver, CO and my truck is parked outside. I have a touchscreen head unit for my stereo system, etc. It gets cold here parts of the year and I wanted to keep my hands warm and still operate the head unit for Spotify, Maps, etc. These gloves seemed popular and were a good price, so I ordered size large. All my gloves are size large: leather work gloves, various motorcycle gloves, nitrile exam gloves at work. All large.
Well, the fingers on these gloves were very tight (skinny/narrow). The rest of the gloves seemed to fit just right. So I ordered a pair in size XL. I know, some gloves made overseas don't understand the size of our hands in the Americas and Europe. No big deal. Received another pair of size Large. Had to reorder another pair of XL. Got those, and the gloves are definitely bigger, but the fingers are still tight. Basically, the tubes for your fingers are very narrow. This may help with the touch screen interaction, which by the way, is excellent with these. But it also restricts blood flow, which isn't good for keeping your fingers warm. I know this as a motorcycle rider in this area. I ride in cold weather a lot, and circulation is key.
So basically, both size L and XL have skinny fingers. But the touch screen sensitivity is quite good with these gloves. And the textured stuff on the palms and insides of the fingers helps with grip. So I'll probably return the XL and keep the size L, even though the fingers are tight. Got 'em on sale for less than $6, so really can't complain.
But you need to know, the fit can be a bit weird. The pinky is way too long for human hands. And this seems to accentuate when moving from the size L to the XL's.
I've had a chance to to wear them in temps below 30 a few times now. While not the warmest gloves (just knit material), they're good enough to hold the steering wheel until my old truck heats up. And I'm still quite surprised how well touchscreens respond to them.
Good luck.
