Help! Impossibly small hands!

[colorisnt]

Okay, so all of my life I have had the tiniest hands of anyone I know. It is a family issue on my Dad's side. I have trouble finding gloves. I wear and XS in cycling gloves, but only certain brands' XS's aren't too big. I usually spend $$ on regular gloves because they are impossible to find for my small hands.

I have been to tons of cycling stores and have yet to find a type that isn't huge. I have tried everything. They all have plenty of WS gloves in a size small, but that small is about 2 sizes too big most times! I would probably be able to do an XS but no one has them. I am also hesitant to order them if I don't know whether they will fit

I figured this is the place to ask. Help me, ladies!

ETA: I have regular gloves. They took ages to find (in fact I need a new pair) but I need WINTER gloves.

We got these for our son...he is 9.5 and slim-framed with very delicate hands (takes after some of my tiny-handed relatives):

They fit him pretty well.

What about children's gloves? We only got him the ones above because they were cheaper than kids' gloves and he tends to lose stuff.

Oh, I meant to add in the OP that these are winter gloves, so they have to be fall/light winter friendly.

You might check motorcycle shops for kids' dirt biking gloves. They might be easier to find than small bicycling gloves. I kind of doubt that they have girls' specific gloves though (shape not color ), so if you have the thumb placement that most women do, you might still have the same problems with boys' gloves that I do with men's.

I have to buy children's gloves because I have small hands too. But for winter I don't use cycling-specific gloves. I just have children's winter gloves and they work well for cycling. I've gotten my gloves from Sierra Trading Post.

Sorry I don't have any incite for your glove troubles, but wanted to commersiate a little, as I have huge hands for a woman. I have trouble finding gloves... Not in fit, but styling... To get gloves that fit me I normally have to buy mens gloves and most of them are not exactly something I'm grooving on.

My mother also has big hands, too. They are proportional to her tall frame, but still she has trouble finding gloves. I guess I have just had trouble finding something that is not cycling specific to use for commuting. I need to be able to use my hands to get around and to get my school supplies, etc on/off my bike. Frustration!

Limewave, do you have any suggestions in kids gloves? Also, I need support on my hands. Do you wear your regular cycling gloves underneath?

I don't wear cycling specific gloves anymore ever.

Just remember that cycling gloves are primarily a piece of safety equipment, so whatever you wear, make sure the palms are abrasion-resistant and that there's some kind of wrist closure to keep them from pulling off in a crash.

Depending on your riding position, studded motorcycle gloves probably wouldn't work if you like to ride on the hoods of drop bars, but anything else should be good, and studded gloves should be fine if you ride flat bars.

I don't know how cold/wet your winter is, but over our most recent winter I wore a pair of thinsulate liner gloves under a pair of 1-size too big fingerless gloves and that kept me warm and toasty down to 0 celsius (and solved the problem of the gloves being too big).
