Thanks for the update Eric. Hope the gloves didn't run out. I ordered a pair of XLs (large hands) and for the first time I can remember the gloves were too big. Just returned them hoping they can be changed for Ls.
I have issues with my fingers getting numb in cold (it's all relative, I live in Texas) temperatures. I've yet to find a pair of gloves I'm happy with, but these sound promising.
