Yes, their XXL is just barely big enough and they work great for me. When temps drop into the mid 40's F with rain, I put some wool gloves and/or open mittens over them and that works fine until we get to the mid 30's, at which point I improvise more layers. Below that, it's bound to be dry so the problem is solved.

One of their best virtues is that they're designed to provide insulation even when wet, and impervious to the effects of salt water.

The drawback is that they don'[t breath, and you can find yourself with wet wrinkly "dishpan" hands after riding for anything over an hour.
The first pair of neoprene gloves I ever had I purchased at a fishing shop. I got the biggest size they had, but it was a bit too small for my hands. That really compromised their effectiveness. When they tore open, I found a dive shop that could make me a pair to fit.

Be sure to wash the gloves out with some soapy water after a sweaty ride unless you're into horribly smelly hands.
