    Haven't tried them, but from the picture it looks like the thumb hole is almost even with the finger holes. That's usually the problem with women wearing men's gloves - our thumbs start much closer to the wrist.

    That's what I've found with mens cycling gloves in general...I'm a plus size woman but I wear a mens medium glove, and they fit kinda wonky.

    I've just about given up on women's gloves - most are far too small for my big ol' honkin' hands. Full-fingered gloves are the worst and are invariably too short in the fingers -- I pop holes in the tips before long (and I don't have very long nails).

    These Glo-gloves look pretty neat, tho. No dealers in my area, however.

    There's a police supply store in town that sells them. I need to ask Raleighdon, I forget what the place is called.
