Title: inbetween sizes on gloves
Post by: se7enty7 on February 16, 2005, 07:30:58 PM
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.

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.
