Gloves...
Where are my stabilisers?

Ordered some Fox gloves the other day in size 9 coz I'm an 8.5 - but they are midget small! I normally buy guys gloves but I fancied the look of these Fox girls gloves, so I checked the size guide and ordered the size 9 medium.
Has anyone else found Fox girls gloves to be small or any other brands for that matter? I don't know how they do their sizing but all other gloves I buy (female or male), my size is the same 8.5.... I don't get it! :shock:
Needless to say, they are going back, but now I'm not sure about ordering other brands of female specific gloves. Is the sizing different?
Any thoughts/experience?

yep - I agree - my Fox gloves came up massively small so I now have a pair 2 sizes bigger than the rest of my normal riding gloves!
I just tend to try gloves on now in my LBS - once bitten.......www.getmountainbiking.co.uk

Good, it's not just me ... Guess that makes me an extra large! They don't have them in stock though so I'll be looking else where - probably back to buying medium mens gloves, they seem to suit!http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/ ... lurLT2.jpg

Don't know about Fox, but I've had the same experience with Specialized ones -- medium size were too much of a squeeze, so I had to go with large. And yet in men's sizes I tend to be a small.
I agree helsbels -- always try them on now, unless it's a brand I'm familiar with!
Cheers,
