DECENT FEATURES of the Black Diamond Men's Midweight Glove
I wear them mostly for everyday, not really adventuring into the woods. They are great for driving and cleaning off your car after a big storm and just everyday things in the cool. They are very flexible and they don't limit you in anyway.

My hands are 10'' from wrist to tip of middle finger and the xl size fit quite well. The fabric is soft and smooth and doesn't snag too easily. The leather palm grips allow you to use the glove with a sure grip while not wearing down the glove fabric. The wrists are also long enough to not leave a gap between your sleeve and the glove and not get bunched up when layered. The gloves are light and not too think, but pretty warm, making them a good choice to throw in the pack if things might turn chilly. They can also easily fit under my shell gloves, boosting the warmth of the shell if it's extra cold. Great product for a good price that I'll plan to use often.
The medium fit me pretty well around the hand, with a 9" diameter. The finger length is a little too long for me on most of the fingers. My hand is 7 1/2" from wrist to tip of middle finger, middle finger is 3 1/8" long from hand to tip.
These gloves are a very nice compromise between warmth and weight/size. They are easy to keep in any bag, or medium-to-large pocket, just in case. Dexterity is excellent, they really don't inhibit use of your hands much at all. The leather patch on the palm is nice, and they are usable for casual scrambling. Overall, they are a very nice casual use glove, and a great compliment to a heavier shell for tougher conditions.
"Great pair of light gloves for everyday use, including running/biking."

I was looking for a pair of relatively, inexpensive light gloves that I could use on daily runs or on a particularly chilly day at the supermarket. I like the strip of leather for increased grip running down the centre, really helps when you're lifting some heavy stuff. The down side is that it isn't water proof, but then again, that's not what this pair of gloves were designed for
