I have small hands and I need something to keep them warm when it�s below freezing. These are rated to -8 c, I think. They keep my hands warmer than my Giro Xentic gloves but my fingers still freeze when it�s below freezing, though after about 20 min of being cold, they start to warm up again. Not the best dexterity, but ok for gloves. Pretty good fit. I wasn�t able to try the xs. I wear a size 6 glove and these have a little space at the ends of the fingers. The gel pad in the palm feels like a hard lump, not the most comfortable but I can live with it.
Second pair of these awesome lofty gloves. First pair wore out after 5 years of using them both for biking and xc skiing. Nothing but warm, dry hands during the cold wet rainy season of PNW.
