Gloves - better too big or too small?

[Zoiders]

I have the same problem

Long thin slim fingers, large gloves are too loose, I buy small and let em stretch

If yer gloves are too small you'll end up either poking holes in them straight away, or gradually straining the material and/or stitching over a few weeks or months, till they fall apart and so they wont last more than one winter.
