Good performance, fits a little small
I use these for touring kayaking on lakes and down rivers in N. ID where the water can be a bit cold but the air can be warm in the summertime. I found these gloves to be very comfortable and prevented blisters. They breathed enough to keep my hands warm in the cold water but not hot in the sunshine.Like the previous review, I found them to fit a little smaller than the listed size. I do not have large hands but I purchased up a size and the L gloves seemed to be the perfect fit. Glad I read the other review about the fit because I would have purchased a M, which would have been to small. I tried on XL's at the store which fit exactly like the L's except the fingers seemed to be longer.

Kept me warm amidst the ice
Spent eight days in the Rain and mist of Glacier Bay Alaska. I cannot imagine surviving the trip without these. My husband's gloves still allowed him to blister but I had none. I do not have big hands but went with the large size and am glad that I did. Excellent value for money.
