Gloves
Am I the only that has a problem with glove fitment?
Typically fits hand, middle three fingers but always to long in thumb and pinky.

Re: Gloves
I have found that gloves typically stretch out too after use. But that may be just me.
Chance favors the prepared mind.

Re: Gloves
fyi, soak them in water, and wear them till they dry. they will shrink when dry. unless they are Kangaroo leather, it doesn't stretch or shrink. others have tried it, it works,

Kangaroo doesn't. I got my kangaroo gloves thinking they'll be just right after they break in, bastards won't break in.Telomere wrote:I have found that gloves typically stretch out too after use. But that may be just me.

Sorry, no Kangaroo doesn't stretch or shrink, if they don't fit when new they won't fit later. Kangaroo has the best abrasion protection as a result of its toughness due to not shrinking or stretching.

Re: Gloves
I usually get gloves that fit fine, but are long in the pinky. Never really bothered me too much

Re: Gloves
Did you flip people the bird a lot when you were younger? Maybe your middle finger got more of a workout than the rest.
Seriously though, sounds like trying to get them to shrink to your hand is a good idea. Just soak them then go for an all-day ride. They'll dry in riding position and hopefully shrink up some.
