Very roomy (XL), but...

These are nice mitts. I like how roomy they are even with the liners on, but this also means that they aren't as warm as I would have liked. I sent them back and got the Gore-Tex mitts instead which seem to be a lot warmer. The liners for these mitts are pretty toasty though they look very cheap since the seams are huge, though they're on the outside of the liners so you don't feel them. The mitt without any liners would not be sufficient to keep your hands warm.
The over build quality is very nice and they seem like they'll hold up pretty well. But as mentioned, even with the liners my hands got noticeably cold at around 20 degrees.
