National Shortage of Mitts!

photonic69

Lost a mitt over the weekend. Spare pair are falling apart and smell like a dead mouse.

Can I find a pair of M/L (21cm hand circumference) mitts in a reasonable colour at a reasonable price anywhere online? Can I heck!! (from usual suspects)

Flouro-vomit-green or size XS or XXL everywhere. Grrrr......

Any secret online retailers that people favour that stock said items?

Thanks! They look good. Any idea how they size up in real life? So many mitts come in really small/tight.

I am also interested in these mitts.

My hand measures 21 cm which is the max of the M and the min of the L.

Anyone with experience of these mitts willing to suggest which I order?

The leather galibier ones are fantastic, mine seem standard for an xl

Sizing is exactly on the money, I would if your a 21cm probably size up but ping them a message they come back pretty quick.

Cheers, I totally agree with the OP, real dearth of reasonably priced conservatively styled mitts around.

Yes, as a kid. I still recall my dad using a nailbrush and Fairy Liquid scrubbing my hands in the kitchen sink getting the grit out of my palms.....

Mitts for me

Depends on what you mean by "reasonable" colour, and price, but I see no shortage of mitts....
