I am 5'10", 170 will proportionally average sized hands. I originally ordered the Large and had to send back for the XL. Even at this they are snug...I could not put a glove liner on my hand and use the gloves too. The good news is, I really didn't need to.
I just spend a week in Vermont and cycled through 20 miles of rain at 55 degrees and stayed warm. The rain did not get inside. I also cycled through temps in the mid-30's and didn't get cold hands except on the downhills...and then only because I had sweat inside the gloves.
This is the issue...these gloves keep water out, but also hold sweat in. I assume this is like all other cycling gloves, so I didn't see it as a problem. I needed to put the gloves on the hotel room fan each night to dry them out and they were ready to go again the next day.
My favorite feature of these gloves is the two different ways you can wear them. I didn't read the product description very well and was pleasantly surprised to find that you can put your hands into an internal thermal liner for the cold days and then you can also put your hands OUTSIDE the thermal liner (but still in the gloves) for days that aren't as cold. Great design.

These gloves run about a size too small--even when using the size chart provided by Gore Bike Wear. They have absolutely no stretch so you have to get the size exactly correct or you'll be uncomfortable.They have a cool feature where you can slip your hands into two "sides" of the glove--one offering a bit more warmth and the other offering a bit more grip. They difference in grip was very minor and not enough for me to consider it a useful feature. They are plenty warm (too warm at 40F), though I am not sure how cold they can go down to (it just doesn't get THAT cold around here).
The gauntlet cuffs are a nice feature that means you don't have to fuss with tightening down your jacket cuffs or the glove cuffs. You just pull them up over your sleeve and it keeps 99% of the wind and water out.
