I am a very petite female (a lot of my posts start off like this !!) and can't find a pair of summer gloves (short) to fit me-any ideas please?! Got some winter motocross ones but summer is around the corner and I don't want to go another summer without them.

PI small don't fit and no-one does really small female ones that I know of.

Any thoughts ??

I can't help sorry - I must have Amazonian hands compared to you

I use Roeckl gloves and they fit better than any I've tried before. My fingers are thin compared to my hand - apparently!! I know they do xs but i ignored them on the rack Roeckl are a nice product but aren't cheap so a tough experiment. I did find www.bikeglovestore.com which may have a bigger range and better measurements.

Good luck on your search.

Oops - forgot to add, I think I use the Irving glove. Unisex and probably in a small. If you check their website, they have women's size 6-8 but also kids 4-6. I wonder if there is a cross over there that might be useful? I can see you in the pirate club ones

My partner has very small hands as well & she found the XS BG Specialized gloves a tight fit.

Otherwise kids sizes should go down to a suitable size in summer gloves. Just not sure where to source them from ?

Found these>>> http://www.this link is broken/Mode ... elID=76298<<< on Chain Reaction, but as for the fit.....well that's impossible with online stores.

Hi,
My daughter brought me over a pair of pearl Izumi gloves from the states yesterday, and in other brands I wear a large, but there large was very small.

So if you find a small in pearl, I think they would be very small.

Might be worth checking out.




Cheers

Bicyclinghub.com has women's gloves and some nice jerseys.
I've ordered for myself and my wife in the past, and have found the pricing to be keen, service very good and shipping charges reasonable for a US site.

Fab thanks !

And how did you know I needed red and black to go with my bike ?!

It's been so hard as no shops stock kids gloves. Thanks for the suggestion.

I know only the best people have red/black/white kits to match their bikes...I just figured you were in this category

Don't know if you found some Welsh Dragon, but I like Specialized and Roeckl women's gloves. I also tried some Netti women's yesterday and the small was too small. So they are around.

Ironically was going to report back today......my local bike shop's sister store had scott contessa gloves in very small size. Used them for the first time today and loved them. Never used gloves before-felt a lot happier.

Thanks so much to everyone

Might be worth buying another pair now you've found ones to fit. I do that as I know the dog will end up chewing one sooner or later!!

Good point-although its not the dog I'm worried about, its finding a pair with red on-but am going to buy some online from the above options.

I'll lend you a dog. He seems to find my farourites all the time!! Luckily he doesn't swallow them now, only sleeps with them in his mouth so they need washing - eeeew dog spit!!

Good luck with finding the go-fast gloves

Yep, was going to suggest bg xxs/xs. Nice cut for small hands.

Do they come with red bits on them?!

My bg pro's are black and red if that's what you mean, I think last seasons. And the bg's are black and white from memory.
