I will say it is hard to buy gloves online - but the selection in many shops is awful. I bought one pair of full-fingered gloves from TE that were WAY too small - the fingers fit, but the thumb was crazy short. I got brave during a sale some months ago and bought both fingerless and full-fingered, and both are very comfortable. I went a little larger on the full-finger so I could get my thermal silk gloves on under them - they're perfect!

I haven't had the new ones long enough to tell you if they are durable or not. My last pair was 10 years old, a no-name brand from Walmart of all places. I wore them probably 3 years total in that time, they were washed many times and the seams were finally too worn out to keep wearing any more.
