I hate to say it, but these gloves just don't cut it. I had an older pair of the Spring Gloves and bought these anticipating replacement soon. I thought the materials looked good in the picture, and my old style gloves are the best-fitting gloves I've ever owned. Marmot made some significant design changes to this model, and most - if not all - of them seem to be misguided. The fingers are cut dfferently (ie, sloppy fit) and are longer, so dexterity is totally compromised. There are now seams located on the backs of the thumb and other fingers that rub your knuckles when you open and close your hand. No bueno for active use in the outdoors. I returned these after one short use. If anyone knows where I can get size Medium in the old style of this glove, please pass the word!

As cardigans go, this is the one you need. The fleece is durable and gets more comfortable after each washing. Pockets are key for holding stuff (duh) and warming hands on cool strolls, and the helmet-sized hood keeps you from looking like a big city accountant on vacation. If you're going for more casual wear (like a collared shirt underneath) then size up. If you're mostly going to wear this under a shell for more technical applications, it's true to size. This hoody will undoubtedly make your Top Ten "wear everyday if possible" list.
