Mc Lovin Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 The size of your glove is the same as your shoe size mate. :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneone Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 To find your hand size: (1) Extend your hand flat. (2) With a tailor's measuring tape, wrap it around the hand just below the knuckles and fingers, but above the thumb. This will give you an inch measurement. (3) Now use the following table to determine appropriate glove sizing using the guide below: 7" Extra Small 8" Small 9" Medium 10" Large 11" Extra Large 12" Extra, Extra Large If your hand measures between sizes, order the larger size. Im using Kona- Back country gloves i think there great i have the red ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox are expensive but they last for longer. the kona ones im using are £20 from a lbs £15 on ebay, Ive been using them every day for either trials, cross country or commute for a year(well i got them for christmas) and now there realy worn with large holes in but i think thats alright for a glove thats been used every day for almost a year.

Im using Kona- Back country gloves i think there great i have the red ones. I like the advice but not the golves. I have the blue ones and they have ripped to shreds.I would suggest 661 for good gloves at a very reasonable price but in my opinion the Fox gloves come out tops for me, great quality!

mackey Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 i rip most gloves to shreds i have had all sorts mostly fox gloves like the sidewinder and the mojave etc personally i reckon you should go for something like the sixsixone gloves as the pair i have which are the 661 comp gloves are good because i havent got one hole in them yet. i got my from chain reaction cycles www.chainreactioncycles.com and are priced at £17.99 they come in colours black blue and red in s,m,xl :P good gloves :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 i just got some 17quid TSG gloves from the bmx shop to replace my spanky UFO mx gloves (which stretched and are now baggy mx gloves) , they seem pretty good so far although they arent nearly as warm as the UFOs . make sure they're nice and snug or you get blisters...
