  • Well, I can't get Endura or Giro gloves on my hands, since the fingers are far too narrow. But Fox fit perfectly.
    So, if you had endura before, maybe Fox wouldn't be the best option.
    Go check some out in a bike shop, various brands have differing shapes. Just like helmets.

  • Well, if your current Endura ones fit fine, you could always buy another pair of Endura gloves, and you already know which size to go for.

    The Royal gloves fit well if you like Fox. The Victory glove on CRC for £15 is very close in fit to a Fox Sidewinder.

    I found that my endura gloves fell to bits really quickly (but they did fit well). Got some Royal Crown gloves the other week in large which fit nicely and are hopefully better made.

  • He hasn't tried them though, he fits Endura, which could suggest that Fox might be a bit of a loose fit.
