i use these gloves mainly for my dog walking job. i especially appreciate the e-tip since majority of my shift is spent looking at my phone and taking photos of the dogs. does the job well, but it isn't too warm unless i'm gripping something, if that makes sense. i agree with the other reviewers in that it is a bit snug. i'm usually an xs in most gloves but i didn't want to go through the hassle of returning so i chose the size small. thank goodness i did, and i suggest you do the same!

These gloves are nice, but they are not very wind resistant. I am disappointed because I got them to wear while I am coaching in the wind, yesterday was windy and my fingers were cold. Especially for the price, I expected them to be much warmer. I will say that the touch capability works nice on my iphone.

I have always bought medium gloves and mittens, and I found these to be way too small for me. Not just a little small but significantly too small, which was a big disappointment because otherwise I like them. The cuffs are tight. I would recommend these if you are able to try them on to ensure the proper size.

They're nice looking gloves and I think they would be warm but the fit is off. I think I have pretty average size hands for a 5'4" woman, but the mediums felt very short in the fingers. It was difficult to straighten my hands all the way. I sent them back

I rated three stars because the Women's Apex is a good looking and comfortable glove. I did not keep it as it was not appropriated for the weather conditions that I intended wearing them.

The quality of the product is good, but it's too big even for a size small. The fit is snug on hand but not fingers which makes us My a phone very hard.

These are a gift for my daughter. Her hands are tiny. I bought xs and they fit my hands. I would say they run big. Should have gotten her a child's size. Seem warm. Hope she likes them.

So I love the color and absolutely love the form fitting style. But -- my fingers can still feel the negative winter cold through them sometimes. I won't return them as they do keep the wind out, water proof, and the etips work GREAT. They are perfect for bone old steering wheels and getting to and from work.

There's false statement that we can wear it when using touch screen devices. I've tried using it on my iPhone 6 & iPad Air but had no response. So, it's only good to wear it during cold days.

I think these gloves will be perfect for someone with larger hands. I have very small hands. The gloves keep your hands in a relaxed state. For someone with small, thin fingers, it was too hard to maneuver my fingers and very hard to use my phone.

Put these on my Christmas list after reading the great reviews. I'm traveling abroad next month and wanted something lightweight, stylish and warm and these seemed perfect! Got them and immediately pulled them on. While they feel great, the ETip fingers do not work with my iPhone 5. I'm debating returning them, but I didn't get them solely for this reason - although it would be a nice plus!

They do seem to run big. My fingers are very sensitive and with 55 degree weather my frostbite was kicking in with them on.

Well made, but not good for cold weather hiking. After about 20 minutes my fingers were cold. Returned them and bought some mittens from another brand instead. Return process at North Face was great.

Good quality. Package states for "cold" weather but not warm enough for cycling in 30-degree winter weather. Would recommend only for warmer weather.

Read reviews and purchased these to wear in Green Bay, Wisconsin for a football game. They did not do their job in the slightest. They were not at all adequate for the cold temperatures as they are advertised. If purchasing for temperatures under 40, i would choose another pair

I had to return these, I bought them to walk the dog. My fingers froze and I had to put my hands in my pockets anyway. The etip worked well. They are very stiff, and have no wrist grip.

Firstly, my small hand stats: Around the palm - 7", middle finger length - 2.75", base of palm to tip of middle finger - 6.75".
I tried on the XS and Small size and they both fit similarly although the XS definitely had shorter fingers so I went with the XS. I used a $20 emailed coupon on these but if I had paid full price I would be disappointed.
While these gloves do have short enough fingers, overall they just don't fit well. As I move my hands they are constantly working themselves off. I think it's because they are just a little too wide in the palm and fingers and because there's no wrist band or even suggestion of a wrist. They are just like a tube. I can fit a pair of UA Youth Large glove liners under them and then they are less likely to wriggle off. I feel like I couldn't do more than swipe my phone or press the camera button (which is really all I care about when I'm outside wearing winter gloves). There is no way I could text.
These gloves aren't very warm but it says they are only suitable for "cool" weather, so that's more the buyer's fault than NF's. I got them to wear while long distance biking when it's not all that cold but the wind makes my hands freeze. It's been cold out so far so I haven't been able to test them just for wind. I've found that if my core is hot (like if I feel like I'm going to start sweating really soon) then these gloves are warm enough. If my body is just regular temp then my hands can feel cold in these at as high as 45-50 degrees.

Disappointed in gloves. Compared to their size or "fluffiness" they are not warm at all and have 0.0 moisture resistance.

I wore these gloves commuting to work. Before I even reached the bus stop, my hands we're cold. To add insult, the technology tip doesn't always respond on first touch to iPhone. Complete waste:(
