You're not going to find a better cold weather glove for this price
I ordered a large originally because that's what I wear in icon / alpine stars leather gloves. This was much too small- the xxl fit much better. Even with the xxl the fingers were a bit shorter than I had hoped And can feel tight when I've been holding the controls for a while. They're great for the first 30 minutes but start to get annoying after that. The xxl fingers are only a tiny but roomier than the large so go by your palm size (and then go up a size). I am 6' 170# with very slender hands for reference
Wind resistance and water resistance was good- I commute about an hour each way on mostly city roads but some faster (50 mph). My morning commutes (20F) went well and my hands are reasonably warm with no wind injection in the gloves that I can feel. In 40F they were perfect. My fingers do get quite cold but this is not because of the glove- heated grips would fix this
The company itself is great and are very fast to respond. A+ service
The stitching is good and the gauntlet goes far enough up to cover a coat sleeve well. This is true for both pairs I have.
The armor is minimal as is common on most textile gloves, the palms and knuckles have enough plastic that I wouldn't worry about a small fall. It's done well and feels unobtrusive unlike some of the cheaper gloves I've gotten from Chinese sellers.
I did get rained on in 40F weather and my hands faired better than my neck did so A+. There wa a small amount of water intrusion on the seam above the thumb after 45 minutes of a good rain. I still felt like I had a good grip on my controls too.
Also they're available in some great high viz colors which is great for the colder riding where it gets dark sooner. I got the green color but it's practically yellow- it's very vibrant and dirt and water bead right off
