Gloves for those with princess-tiny mousey paws

[Trek420]

Is women's S just not small enough for you? Do most gloves leave bunched up fabric and gel at the palm? Are your gloves loose around the wrist no matter how tightly you cinch that velcro wrist strap? Do your full-finger gloves have that inch or so of floppy loose empty glove bits beyond your finger tips? Well cheer up my tiny handed friend and post here your favorite XS or S but fits glove :)

I'll start.

My favorite Women's XS full finger gloves are wearing thin. I'll still use them commuting but noted on the road bike, with more weight on the palm they're lacking support or maybe I need more core strength and there's too much weight on my hands.

I just got Fox Diva Reflex Gel women's small. There is no XS.

I prefer gloves with a velcro strap, I can strap them to each other so I don't end up with so many orphan gloves :p can also booby trap the bike at coffee stops by wrapping the glove around a spoke or two (somewhere here there's discussion of what do you do when you gotta stop and don't have a lock), and ... since I have small wrists can get a nice custom fit.

I've found Fox gloves to give good support on long rides. So these should be good for the long haul.

I'm busy cooking for Duck on Wheels birthday picnic tomorrow so you'll have to stay tuned for ride reviews.

They have terry cloth on the thumb to wipe the sweat from my brow, a bit of extra texture and color on the inside of the index and middle finger could make shifting and braking more secure and flipping drivers off more visible. :p

Best of all in a sea of pink and baby blue women's gloves these are labeled as avocado but they are really bright near florescent green. Visibility, I love it.

Susan? Can we get these? :D

I'm going to think of you as "Princess Tiny Mousey-Paws" from now on.

That's "Your royal highness princess tiny-mousey paws" to you :p


I thought about starting a thread for Gigantic Amazon Monster Paws when I read title and post, but controlled the impulse :D

Yes, go for it! :D

I'm also tiny-handed. But I also have large wrists, so velcro closures (that I barely fasten) are a must on any gloves I wear.

My favorite glove is the Potenza Pave in a XS. They have a fairly lightly padded white leather palm, silver lycra back and black terry cloth thumb. And, they're cheap! I can usually find them at my LBS for a little less than $10. On the one occasion I couldn't find my size at my local shop, I found some online for about $8.

I'm still on the hunt for a full-fingered glove that fits the short length of my stubby fingers without being too tight around the base of said stubby fingers.

I'm loath to buy gloves online at any price unless I know the make and model fit. What I've done in the past for cold rides are glove liners. I like that a solution a lot. Gets cold, put 'em on, warm up, take 'em off, repeat :cool:

The gloves I'm replacing might also fill the bill. They are from Giant. I just checked their site, nothing looks the same. Of course when we find something that fits the bill they change everything :p

Knowing that I might get several of the Fox ;) They weren't cheap, around $25. But Fox gloves I've bought before have lasted several seasons keeping the gel and support. YMMV.

This is a great post for me. I just got some PI Select Gel bike gloves, and they fit nicely on my first ride, but then they started stretching out and bunching up under my palms.

Trek420, so the Fox Diva Reflex Gels stretch out in the palms? I might have to get a pair. My gloves are annoying the heck of me.
