Fit as expected. Expected level of warmth. Xcel makes some durable gloves hoping that continues

They are excellent gloves and I use them to snorkel while scalloping in late fall waters on Martha's Vineyard. This is my second pair and I am pleased with them.

Very warm and easier to put on then the mittens.

Extremely Cold (40 degrees and below)Body Type SlimProduct Standouts Performance/DurabilityRated 4 out of 5 stars12/7/23Amazing…but flawed?
I got the large size, which is what my hands measure and they are very hard to get one and do not flex well, but the wrist cuffs, critical for the drylock feature, are too loose on my small wrists and so they slightly leak. They are still a total game changer for swimming in water below 40 degrees F. (I am still trying to decide how they impact my swimming and "catch.") Unfortunately, they are very hard to get dry on the inside when they do leak because they are very waterproof! I would try the XL size if it was not such an investment. I plan to try adding rubber bands of some type to keep out water.

I was planning to use them for winter open water swimming so I ordered medium. I don’t think I have large hands but once I put one on, there was no way I could pull the other one on. So I ordered a large. While that pair was bigger, longer fingers, I still had too much trouble pulling the second glove on.
