I was really intrigued by MH's OutDry technology and wanted to try a pair of their gloves equipped with them. SIZING: I ended up purchasing a Small pair based on their MH's sizing chart. I was a perfect match in finger length, but a slightly larger (1/2") in hand width. Finger dexterity is hugely important to me so I took a chance full well knowing it would be a snug fit. What I hadn't accounted for is the lack of stretch in the wrist area when putting the gloves on. These gloves are designed to slip under whatever insulation or shell layer you are wearing as opposed to fitting over the top. As a result of this the first week or so that I used the gloves they were slightly difficult to get, so much so I had worries about the pull loop lasting. But after a week of use and some sessions of balling my fist in the glove throat they are a perfect fit now. For the TL;DNR crowd: Sizing is true, use the sizing chart. If you are 1/2" larger than a measurement seriously consider not moving up a size, as they will break in and stretch with use. As gloves will likely be too big. WARMTH: I bought these gloves to replace a worn pair of TNF Denali gloves (single layer fleece, not a direct competitor to the Heracles). When worn while snow blowing my driveway (60 min duration) my fingers would be ice cold and numb from gripping the poorly insulated metal handles of the blower. However, with the Heracles glove my hands were completely comfortable and did not require a single break to warm up my fingers. DURABILITY: Seems to be a well made glove with quality materials and more importantly, stitching. Time will only tell how well they hold up. But for light duty use, I think they will last several years if not more.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great valuegood quality

I bought for my son who is 10 years old. It fits well . He likes it. He will use the gloves in this winter. Size is smaller than I think. I could hardly put my finger into it, although it was small size for man, not for youth. please confer. I love design and quality.
