Your experience sounds a lot like mine.
My hands are XS, so anytime I put on gloves I just had floppy fingers.
I really do forget I have the Atlas ones on.
I found leather helpful only for working with the firewood.
he rest of the time I just worked bare handed.
Now if I need to do something potentially splintery, I just put the leathers on OVER the Atlas.
I love my Atlas gloves.
I don't quite kill a pair in one season, but I retire them as backups and start a new pair each spring.
