The gloves I was refering to are not skin tight, they dont fit like spandex and they dont fit tight around my fingers, they fit very comfortably so there is no blood flow constriction to my fingers. They keep my hands as warm as the larger thicker bulkier gloves with the added bonus of being a thinner glove.I buy them in a size that affords me the room to also wear a pair of wicking gloves underneth them.
