These glasses are, without a doubt, the best iced (or hot) tea glasses I own. There is a "softness" to the feel of the glass. Comfortable in my hand, elegant in simplicity and keep my beverage cold/hot longer.While I do have large hands, I am able to reach in to clean the interior. A gentle bottle or foam dish washing brush would work too.The empty glass weighs 15.1 ounces though I cannot explain why it does not feel to be nearly a pound.Packaging of the glass is exceptional.If you are on the fence, I believe you would like them.... just as other reviewers have stated.
