Right between glove sizes

KevChallis

I have seen a pair of Castelli gloves I like, but small is up to 20.5cm circumference, medium starts at 20.5cm, so what advice do you give, should I size up, down or choose a different brand lol

I'd base it on whether, I'd fat or bone-ee hands, thick fingers etc

they will give and stretch as you use them. I hate loose gloves that slip when i grip. Go for smaller.

I would tend to go larger if they are not way too big or a different brand.

i go for smaller if i am stuck between choices. they will stretch and baggy gloves just get in the way.

They will wear and stretch, so for a good fit I would go smaller.

Cheers guys, went for the smaller size in the end

There is that John, yes lol, can't do much about that now haha, out of interest, you doing 100 mile sportive on 10th May?

I would say the opposite and say size up to allow for shrinking when you wash. Plus tight gloves cut off circulation.

I've ordered them now, so if they are too small I will just send them back and get the next size up

Thanks

i personally prefer the slightly slacker side of gloves rather than bloodflow cutting off tightness
