Gloves

[Captain_Rat]

Okay, it's time I find some ***** gloves that fit. Please help me out.

I'm 6'2" and I've been able to palm a basketball since I was 14. My hands aren't thick around, but my ***** fingers are long. The last pair of gloves I got were Arlen Nesse. They were an XL, but my problem is that the fingers of the gloves are not long enough and the diameter around my palms is too big. My fingers eventually have the circulation slowed down and it caused them to get cold and go numb. And there is material that is too loose around my palms.

So I think I need XXL gloves that are not too big around the palms.

Any help?

Thx

Go to Vanson Leather's web site. They offer all sorts of things, and one of their services is custom coats. I wonder if they make custom gloves. Their leathers are second to none.

Cheers,

Try Helimot. They're known for making high quality leather suits. They used to be the US distributor for Held gloves (a high quality, high end mfg). They parted ways and Helmut launched his own line of gloves. I dunno if they will do complete custom, but they request a hand tracing in order to properly size you.

Good Luck!

I also have long fingers and usually have a hard time finding gloves that fit my palms and fingers alike. I went to my local bike shop and tried on all different types. The best fit was a $139 pair of joe rocket gloves (carbon fiber, triple closure,...the real deal). I them was able to purchase a brand new pair on E-bay for $60 with shipping. SCORE!

Have to second the Helimot Buffalo 365.

Got a chance to stop in the Helimot and try some on. Very nice, they are comfortable and well put together.

Talk to Helmut, he might be able to help you out.
