Tight fit, and not exactly waterproof
I wear size 10 gloves (L) and these are quite snug - not painful, but noticeably snug. I recently wore them in the rain and they weren't completely waterproof. It was a very light rain, more of a mist for the first 12-13 miles that changed to a very light rain for the last 6-7 miles. A few miles from home I could feel my wrists getting cold and wet (right where the wrist strap is sewn on). When I got home I pulled off the gloves and my hands were wet! These gloves are a bit snug but have been comfortable in 38-65 degree temps. However, I am not impressed that my hands were wet after riding such a short distance in very light rain.

They worked in the rain
Just got done doing 500+ miles, most of it in moderate to heavy rain. The gloves stayed dry. However, the leather and possibly the insulation got soaked, and they felt wet and squishy. But my hands themselves stayed dry and warm. The temps were in the 70's, and the gloves, though warm, were not too hot with the wet shell and the wind chill. I recommend these gloves for moderate cold temps and wet.

The gloves were too small.

very comfortable glove
When they say “feel is maximized” in the description, they mean it!!! I could not believe how well I could feel the controls! They were like a second skin, and waterproof. These are not cold weather gloves, I went with the wr-3 for that, see review. But if you want a good medium weight, waterproof glove, these are what you want!
