First of all, thank you to the reviewer on the ladies' version of these gloves who recommended just going with the men's version. It's disappointing how often women's clothes end up being objectively worse than the mens' version.
For fit, I'm typically a small or medium in women's glove sizes. I will note that I have small hands, but very long/spidery fingers, and often end up with gloves with fingers that are too short. Men's S was a near-perfect fit on the finger length, but definitely too wide. (Not docking any stars for poor fit since I'm not the intended hand size, but hopefully this is informative.) The adjustable wrist straps are very helpful and cinch enough to my wrists that the gloves feel secure and not at any risk of coming off accidentally.
For features, the grippy palm/finger texture is very, very good - so good that I can get a plastic dog bag opened up, which normally I have to take off a glove and often lick my fingertips to get enough grip for. Definitely not the best for dexterity work, but that's a tradeoff that can't really be avoided if you want gloves with high warmth. The felt strip on the back to wipe your nose is a really clever inclusion. As mentioned, the wrist cinch helped with fit a lot, although it would be nice if it had some Velcro or something to keep the adjustment. The thing to clip them together is nice to have in theory, but you have to push really hard to get them separated again, which is annoying - I was almost afraid of breaking the clip before it would release the first time.
No complaints on the warmth or waterproofing. Had an oddly warm winter so they didn't get field tested very much, but they did hold up respectably well during the Midwest polar vortex back in mid-Jan. Didn't notice any dampness after wearing during snowstorms. Did a fine job keeping my hands warm for hour-long dog park trips at around 20-30 degrees F. Overall I'm happy with them.
