Good gloves so far -- I've only had them for a week or two. I got them for household cleaning. The XL size has a little extra room for me, a 200+ lb. 6' man. Decent protection from hot water (but if it's really hot you'll feel it), no bad smell, and I haven't found them to be too bulky or clumsy for anything I've done, which has mostly been thorough cleaning of the bathroom and kitchen.
