    I have never had this problem with my ff gloves, and I wear them a lot when it cools down.

    Maybe try a different brand? Or wear them several times and see if they loosen up in the right spots? How do men's gloves feel when you try them on?

    I have really big hands, so I wear a mens L anyway, but I never have numbness from FF gloves.

    Are the fingers too short? I have long fingers and certain styles definitely cause me discomfort.

    I have long fingers too. I'll have to try a different brand. I like Pearl Izumi gloves and have been wearing them for a couple of years, maybe my FF gloves will have to be a different brand. Thanks

    I started wearing a larger size in FF gloves last year. I have small hands, but not tiny. My gloves just felt like they were squeezing my fingers. The good thing is now I can wear my wool liners under them!

    I have long fingers as well, and have found that switching to men's generally resolves that problem. I have a pair of men's PI Cyclone gloves in a size L that fit me well. I also have the same glove in a women's XL and I can't wear them because the fingers are not only too short, they are too tight and it feels like the circulation gets cut-off in my fingers.

    I don't have long fingers and even I find that the PI women's gel-vent FF gloves run short, at least in the black/gray model from last year. I may have to try the men's in the future. It's really bad if my nails are even the slightest bit long.
