These gloves are the comfiest gloves I've ever worn. The fit is snug and they are mostly made of neoprene which is flexible and warm. The great thing about these specific gloves is that they extent further up your arm by an inch or so, ensuring that they tuck underneath the sleeve of your spray top and none of your arm is left uncovered and prone for the elements especially in the winter months. The gloves have kept my hands warm througout the entire winter - I've never had cold hands whilst using them. They also last a good length of time, I still have the same pair since I first recieved them in October, and have been training and competitng many times since and I can see absolutely no sign of wear or tear on any part of the gloves. I wear them as a second skin on my hands, they protect against blisters and the cold and and are comfortable. That is, in my opinion, what sailing gloves are designed to do. I wouldn't wear any other.
