Is it a problem that the gloves are only 3/4? Don't your fingertips get sunburned?

I don't use the gloves for sunburn protection but for protection from a sun allergy that affects that backs of my hands. That being said, I have not experienced any sunburn on the tips of my fingers while wearing the gloves.

I use sunscreen on my hands (and face) prior to putting on the gloves. Even with prolonged sun exposure (6+ hours a day) I haven't noticed any coloration difference with my fingertips.

I only have small gloves, so cannot answer your question. I really like mine and I have tried several other brands. These are the best.

You need to go onto Outdoor Research's own web site and use their measuring instructions...I did and even tho 5'11" I only needed small size gloves...you'll need a tape measure and once you do, you'll get the right size...these gloves are GREAT and I just wore them again for desert hiking..no more sunburn...

I wondered about that, too! However, the gloves are really longer than they appear: about 3-1/2" to 4" long in the cuff. They cover just the right amount. For example, when I use the gloves to open a boiling pot, the steam has no effect on me. They are truly just long enough. I have put my hands into the oven to take out a dish without pulling out the oven tray and had no ill effects. I've used them grilling and experienced absolutely no discomfort when cooking. These gloves wash up wonderfully, and I use them every single time I cook, every single day. You will appreciate having two pair. I honestly cannot find one bad thing to say about these gloves.

If sizing is the concern; my hand is 8" x 4" and I ordered and use a size 10 XL. Perfect fit not too tight nor loose. I get my gloves wet 99.999% of the time and then they fit just perfect. I'm getting my money worth since mine are utilized for sun protection, paddling (great rubber grips) and fish gloves. I put them on prior to hitting the water and they don't come off till ready to drive home. Like any other product of this material only wash but ensure not to put them in the dryer. I am very happy with mine and will have them on for another 8 hours tomorrow. If u have small hands, get the smaller ones and so on..cheers If sizing is the concern; my hand is 8" x 4" and I ordered and use a size 10 XL. Perfect fit not too tight nor loose.

My mother's arms are thin therefore there was no problem. Since these gloves are not a compression style glove, I don't see that there would be much of a struggle.

These actually heat around the perimeter of the hand (think tracing around your hand to make a turkey picture as a kid.) There is no top or bottom palm elements, but the heat is well distributed, and my hands stay warm inside my gloves.

I have used them with a touchscreen phone, but that isn't their intended use, and so it's kind of hit-or-miss. I wouldn't buy them expecting to use them for a touchscreen, when there are other gloves designed for that purpose that work very well, every time.

My wife has a Samsung S3 and she has no problems using the touch screen while wearing the gloves. Great touchscreen gloves but they are not durable (pick easily) nor are they very warm.

The gloves are very long so you shouldn't have any problems with it getting down into the glove itself, however, I would sanitize them before taking them off to avoid coming into contact with your skin. Maybe have a bucket of bleach water ready to submerge the gloves while wearing them. Hope this helps. Happy weeding!

I have not had any problems with these gloves, but I don't use them daily - only occasionally.

Mine fit perfect and I don't have that issue. Maybe a size up might help? I have used mine 3 mos. and they fit the same between the fingers so you might try cutting the holes a bit...? I hope this helps!

No, they're surprisingly small. I got them for my 2 1/2-year-old granddaughter and they were only slightly too big. Very cute and much better than wearing adult gloves.

My guess, from limited purchasing experience, is that they are about the size they should be. Large size gloves that I previously purchased (different brand) we're a bit small. With that in mind, I ordered XXLarge, which were a little big. I expect the XLarge will be just right, which is conducive with the size of my hands. Again, that's just my experience. BTW they are excellent gloves; they outwear any I've previously used, and have been resistant to the chemicals I've used thus far.

This is something that is not listed anywhere on the bag they came in.Again, you can do what i do and use sunscreen on the exposed skin NOT covered by the gloves. It's never wrong to take precautions. I hope this is somewhat helpful to you.

I think they run small, but got a quite a bit larger size just in case and they are only slightly larger than my hands which is just what I wanted here in south central Florida where it's hot and humid. Too tight would be like soaking my hands in warm water. Great gloves, they are tough.

I bought them in size s/m, my fingers are average and fit well, perhaps a different size would work better for you. In regards to your comfort question, yes, they are quite comfortable! , considering off course that they are made of special fibers, not the lightest or the softest but they work much bettee than other gloves with touch-screen features
