after read numerous review I purchase a XL pair from a local Box store and they be pretty snug . I realize Amazon have the xxl size and they fit perfect on my large hand . these glove all run on the smaller side include the woman 's as my wife have a pair of the pink one . we both use these around the yard and garden and I use they for baton wood and general fire prep . I would ` nt call these heavy duty but for general task I highly recommend .
