Gloves That Fit!

[Hugh Manatee]

My gloves are nearing the end! I had a bit of a struggle finding any last time. I never really thought of myself as having large hands but then I tied to buy gloves in every bike shop I found on my travels and; nothing fitted.

I liked the look of Planet X's traditional track mits and ordered them in XL. Not even close! Couldn't get my fingers into place let alone my palms! There didn't seem much point trying the XXL as they would have needed to be so much larger.

Can anyone recommend any? I would rather avoid T rek and Spec ialized if at all possible. We are talking short fingered gloves by the way. TIA.

What’s wrong with Bontrager and Spesh?
Try Gore, go up to 3xl

I have a Bontrager bike but from way back before the sell out. I don't like the way they choose to do business. The big S were rather silly about a cafe that dared have the name Roubaix, and T rek behaved very badly towards Greg Lemond.

I'll have a look at the other suggestion though; ta!

Most glove manufacturers seem to model their offerings on Donald Trump. Choose at least two sizes above the one you think is reasonable.

Thanks all. I'll follow these up.

Ament to that. That's exactly what I wrote on the returns form!
