Glove advice - shorter fingers! :-)

[DS]

I have three pairs of gloves of which the bmw Rallye ones fit me best (size 9 - 9.5) in terms of hand size & finger length! The finger length on my other gloves are a little too long, occasionally making it awkward when using controls.
Can anyone with a similar challenge suggest alternatives? How do Klim gloves come up in terms of sizing?

I have a similar problem and Klim work for finger length

I believe some Held gloves come in different finger lengths.

I think difficult to buy gloves just by size.... I spent about 30 minutes at a Dainese stall in NEC bike show trying to decide between two sizes which one fitted better, then I went away around the show and came back and probably spent another 10 minutes trying them on before deciding. In fairness to the stall holder he left me at it (Wolverhampton trader I think)

I bought a pair of the Chinese knock off GS Rallye gloves on eBay and had to pass them on.

I believe some Held gloves come in different finger lengths.

Held used to sell a custom glove service, at a price - something like 250 Euros + dependent on spec IIRC. Not sure if it's available still.

I have size 10 hands, like yours not the largest in the box.

I find that Rukka size pretty well in the finger length versus palm size department. Rukka make so many sorts and styles of gloves, that my only advice would be to go into a half decent clothing shop (Infinity, for example) and try some on, assuming you are allowed to in these perilous times.

The Held gloves can be ordered in a long and short finger size so definitely worth a look.

I have wide hands and short fingers and I use the Held 2-in-1 gloves.

The gloves are made in Hungary, my Phantom waterproof gloves were £190 in 2010. Still going strong. The latest generation Phantom is over £300.

Have you tried inner gloves?

I am a 9.5 glove size, use Klim ones and they help to 'fill the gap' with chunkier gloves, plus keep hands a tad warmer when worn under GS Rallye gloves if it gets chilly.

I have exactly the same issues and have searched extensively for gloves that fit.

This year I found two that fit well (both at Motolegends) but unfortunately it's not a case of saying "manufacturer A" as it varies from glove to glove.

These KLIM INDUCTION summer vented gloves fitted perfectly but none of KLIM's waterproof ones did.

Later on, Mototlegends got some of these HELD SCORE 4 which I went to try as they can get shorter finger lengths if necessary.
The "normal" ones fitted me fine, so happy days.

Hope this helps

I have smaller hands and find the forefinger lengths on some brands to be way too long.

I have had success with Eska gloves (used by Austrian Police?) and Racer.

Hope this helps .....
