Just what I needed. Mediums are true to size.

Like anything else from Rab, these gloves are really nice kit. I wouldn't take them on an Everest climb, but they're great for general purpose winter backpacking. They're as warm as they need to be, wind and water resistant, form fitting without being tight and uncomfortable, easy to get on and off, soft, light, very packable and the loss of dexterity is minimal. Turning gas valves, clicking igniters, manipulating spoons and opening meal bags, tugging on zippers and straps, etc. is all easy to do. They have a loop under the cuff to help pull them on and they do kind of work for touch screens, at least the very tip of the index fingers do, and I do mean the very tip. I'm also able to get them into a pair of mitts with no problem. I bought the size mediums and they pair well with a size large Gordini waterproof mitt for when it gets seriously cold and wet. Outer material all around is strong enough for hiking and backpacking, but not a good choice for, say, scrambling or sawing firewood.
Dislikes
No real dislikes. Orange was all they had and I would've preferred black, but whatever. Regarding the color, they are definitely orange, not the yellow they look like in the picture, and they're not bright and shiny. It's a muted, kind of darkish orange. They look fine. They look really good, actually. I'd have just preferred black.
