My gloves came and I used them yesterday. I am a medium in all but one set of gloves I've ever owned, and the size chart said medium for me. You guys must all have really big hands, because the mediums are plenty big for me. If anything they are too big, but I wouldn't go a size down. It's hard to tell because it wasn't very cold last night, but I think my Pearl Izumi lobster gloves are warmer, but not by a lot. But for the ability to have one finger breaking, I'll take it. I can always add liners and/or heat warmers. My index fingers were a bit sore by the end of the ride from having to do all the work for the first time in a while. Would buy again.
