Random thoughts about clothing

Why do all of my long-fingered gloves have such short fingers? I swear, they make my fingers go numb and my hand cramp... Any suggestions for longer full-finger gloves?

My first reaction on reading that was to think we need to exchange gloves. All of my full-finger gloves have at least an inch of space at the end that gets in the way on my shifters and brakes, and make it impossible to turn on my lights.

What kind of gloves are they? Maybe I need to be looking at other brands....

I've given up on women's long-fingered gloves for that very reason - fingers too short. I don't understand....if they make broad assumptions about women in designing their clothing, can't they throw us a bone and assume we have long fingernails or something and make the fingers a longer length???

I wear men's long-fingered gloves now.

Illuminite makes some of the best reflective clothing in my opinion. I have a jacket and pant and almost the entire piece is reflective.

If you're chesty, women's tops are always snug. Blah!

There ARE shorter, small-boned women who cycle...so we can't eliminate smaller sized cycling clothing designs.

Otherwise why do petite women's clothing shops or clothing lines, exist?

I wish I were petite, but alas, my german bone structure.....

I'm just ribbin' Zen. Didn't mean to offend the petite ladies here.
