I seem to be right inbetween a medium and a large...  which one should I stay with?

I have a similar prob, I have an unusually shaped (longer over all) pair of thumbs. In a stretchy type of gloves, it's no prob. but with my leather sets, I either have to have a gap on each of my fingers so my thumb will fit(using a size x-large), or cramp my thumb trying to stretch the leather so my fingers will fit a large.

I ended up just lopping the tips off of the 4 fingers on a set of x-larges, works great, even if it looks a bit ghetto.

Gloves always stretch.   Especially if they get wet.

Try on several different pairs of the same size.

I have 2 pairs of the same glove and the size but they are not cut the same. One pair I use in cold weather since I can wear a liner under it.

Eventhough the smaller pair has stretched over the past 5 years, I prefer to wear the slighly larger pair. Personally, I would get the larger one only if it is not too large where it creates any issues with operating the controls.
Common sense in not very common.

I'm between sizes too.  The first pair I bought were M, they were tight as heck, but after a month, they felt just right... one month later, the seams started busting out of the tips of the fingers :x

So now I have a pair of L gloves, so far so good.  My problem is my fingers are just too long for a M, even tho thats my palm size.
