BLACK DIAMOND Men's Guide Gloves - Waterproof Gore-TEX Cold Weather Gloves for Skiing, Snowboarding & Mountaineering - Winter Sports, Hiking & Outdoor Adventures

Love these gloves! Bought to replace an older pair that I lost last ski season. I thought I would fit in a medium since my hands were on the smaller side of the range (actually, the sizing guide shows me at the high end of size small), but the medium was super cramped and uncomfortable. For reference, my hands are 8.25" girth around the knuckles and 7.75" long, and I have pretty skinny fingers.Maybe the medium would have packed out and felt larger at the end of a season, but it was hard to move my fingers and each one felt squeezed. The large feels snug as well.I tried many different pairs of gloves on the mountain before settling on my first pair of these. They are incredibly warm, even on the coldest days. There's no room for hand warmers, but you won't need them. The cuffs fit inside my coat sleeves, which have adjustable Velcro, so with that setup you get a good snow-proof and airtight seal. The leather is tough and durable, and shouldn't tear as long as you are just skiing/riding and not using these for work gloves.There's also a little soft suede area to wipe your runny nose.
