Great gloves - a touch snug and stiff, but dry and warm
I've got long fingers and large hands and the large fits, but just. They're a bit snug to get into, but once in them they are awesome. They're somewhat stiff, but I think they'll break in nicely. The gauntlet has an ingenious two color strap system to tighten and loosen - you just pull the appropriate colored cord and it's either tightened or easily opened. Very dry - spent a rainy/snowy/sleety day on the Muir snowfields at Rainier in 30MPH winds and never got wet or cold hands.

Overall Satisfied
I used the gloves 2 week already. They are true to size, but not as beefy as displayed. As long as I am active my hands stayed warm. Exceptional design and construction; all the features I would want in a mountaineering glove.

Warm and well made
I bought this glove after trying the Typhon. I have cold hands, and so found the latter glove a disappointment for warm (though very good dexterity). The Medusa is noticeably warmer. The Windblocker liner has much better immediate tactile sense of warmth than the Typhon's liner. It also has a better fit. Regarding overall fit, BOTH gloves are cut too small. I am pretty skinny (7-8% fat), 185lb @ 6-3. An XL just fit in both. If you have meaty hands I question if either will be roomy enough. The Medusa has a wear layer in the fingers that make them not quite as flexible as they could be. Thus a bit more pre-curve would help. I suspect they will soften with use. The gauntlet is very well made, has the perfect stiffness to hold its form and not sluff down. The little pull tabs on the liner cuff is slick; it lets you pull on the gloves more easily by your thumb grabbing that tab. While a small detail it helps. Overall, these are very nice gloves. Should last for years. Thus far, in use to mid-20s, they have been very warm. Goatskin has very good grip, straps are easily worked with gloves on, and appearance is very good too (but a tad less "puffy" than the image shown indicates). These are keepers.

Great glove
I've been using these gloves for almost 2 months now, sometimes in very wet conditions, and it has held up great - very waterproof and warm. The removable liner glove is a nice feature, particularly when using the gloves in warmer conditions. One downside to the liner glove is the velcro on both sides - don't wear just the liner gloves with a fleece jacket or you'll find it frequently getting stuck to your fleece jacket. But that is a minor issue for an otherwise fantastic glove. Looking forward to using these gloves more once the winter season is in full swing.

Tight fit
Great looking gloves, but they really do run small. I always purchase extra large gloves, but usually do not have such a tight fit. Once I get into them they feel somewhat tight, but I believe they will work OK. The difficulty is getting my hand past where the glove narrows at the wrist.
