Great Mittens, HORRIBLE Size Chart

My hands are often cold so I need really warm mittens. This is compliant. They're really full. Can't comment on durability yet, but I give them a solid 4 stars because they keep your hands warm. The problem with mittens is that if they're too tight, two bad things happen; 1) All of the insulation is wrinkled, making it less effective as insulation needs to trap air to be effective, and 2) overly tight mittens (especially around the detached thumb) reduce blood flow, which isn't great for warm hands . For that, these gloves deserve 1 star. The size chart should be clearly for hobbits, dwarves or whatever. According to the size chart I should buy medium. So I ordered both medium and large to make sure one of them fits. BOTH were too tight so I had to return both and order the Extra Large which fit my hands well, wasn't too tight around my thumb and had enough room for four fingers. Take seriously any comments that these gloves are SMALL. None of these will NEVER fit a person with large or fat hands.
