These gloves are super warm, but are still slim enough to fit in the loops of my XC ski poles. They do seem to fit a little snug. I normally am a size M in all women's gloves, but I wish these were a tad bigger. However, I think that the large would be too big.

Bought these for my mother and she loves them. Her hands are always on the cold side even during aerobic activity. They stayed warm with these gloves.

I gave these to my Mom for Christmas because she's new to cross country skiing and needed a different glove that wasn't as bulky as her downhill skiing glove.

The glove fits true to size and is comfortable, they will keep your hands warm as long as you're moving your body. They aren't as insulated as a downhill ski glove because they are designed for aerobic activity; if you're not moving your body they might not keep you warm enough.

I bought these gloves to ski with and my hands were freezing the whole trip.

This is a great all conditions glove and it's a great price too...feel like it is really durable. I have had mine for a couple of years and have been really impressed

Agree with the previous review. I have had a hard time finding a glove for skate skiing that is warm enough without being bulky. These gloves are exactly what I was looking for. Fits well and allows for dexterity. And no cold fingers.

Use this glove for everything outside including xc skiing!!!
