Mine are not overly tight( I can put a fleece liner inside comfortably ) and not super loose so I can easily shift and brake if riding a bike ( I also use them for hiking on occasion ) like most shell mitts I don’t like too loose or to tight.

thanks, I think these are just not going to work out for me as they are uncomfortably tight. I will say John at Borah is willingly providing a refund.
i find fuzzy fleece gloves work just as well … sure yr hands get damp but the heat and capillary action push the moisture away from the skin
im talking about thick fuzzy ones …. not the thin snug ones … when your at camp/inside simply flip em inside out and wring em out … the inner fuzzay should dry fairly quick
the other important part is your core temp … if your core temp is a bit low then your hands will feel cold, period … a fleece vest or other works wonders here
;)
My primary goal for using this is cycling actually, for that use a less breathable material is preferred to cut the wind down.
I used my m,d rain mitts for a week long bike tour, about 3 half days. The held up fine and i enjoyed the built in angles when working my shifters and brakes.
