Each finger fits on the end of the glove and trust me, it saved my knuckles from hundreds of cuts and scrapes. So far, I've been using these in the Wisconsin winters, at least until the temps get below zero, and then I'll put some cheap, thin thermal gloves underneath them. I'm amazed by the quality for the price and I'm considering buying another pair in black before they turn black permanently. 5/5 Would recommend to men who work with their hands and don't want to carry around 3 pairs of gloves. It's like a Swiss Army Knife, it's not the best at everything, but you're still the only one on your camping trip with a can and bottle opener.
