Gloves for someone with freakishly long fingers

mtbpunx

Hi, can anyone recommend some decent winter gloves for someone with average sized hands but unusually long fingers?

My palms measure 9cm across (from just above the thumb) and my middle finger is the same length.

I wear Troy Lees off road but need something warmer for my commute.

I've tried SealSkinz, Specialized, Endura and Fox gloves but they're all too short on the fingers in a medium size and have too much excess material on the palm in a large.

Any ideas?

I got an email circular from Wiggle yesterday which I noticed mentioned some long finger gloves - let me see if I still have it...

Yup, here you go...

I think 'long finger gloves' is just a category on Wiggle, like 'short finger gloves' (mitts) etc.

Haha - fair enough, how dumb of me!

It is a bit of a silly name for a category to be fair.

...mtbpunx, are you a guitarist?

I have a guitar but 'guitarist' might be going too far! Power chords are about the extent of my talents. Haven't picked it up for months now, mind.

Can you post a pic of your fingers please? I'm curious :P

Pervert.

Yeah, really, my smut filter just went off the chart...

Sorry Moonio, I'm at work and don't happen to have any photos of my fingers lying around. Er, not that I do at home either.

I'm sure there are websites for that sort of thing, though.

Just got some Assos early winter gloves, they're quite long fingered and snug fitting, but not cheap. Don't be fooled by the "early winter" part either - these keep my hands warmer than my supposedly super-warm Lizard Skins.
