funny you should mention this.
I needed a new pair of gloves. I always thought i had medium sized women's hands. But if that's the size I buy, i can barely get them off, and when my hands are hot, I have much difficulty getting them off. Discovered that women's large and some men's smalls fit me nicely a few years ago.

Went into the LBS yesterday and ended up buying two pairs of gloves, fingerless (Pearlizumi MEN's Medium!) and long fingered also men's medium!! what's up with that?
