gloves

My BF was away for the past week, and brought me these from Chicago:

Sweet! Good for Earth Day, too, as Planet Bike donates 25% of its profits to bike advocacy.

They seem really comfortable, nice materials, mostly leather and cotton. They'll be great in the summer. I used to wear mesh gloves, so I know I love them. The only drawback is that you look like a leopard if you forget to sunscreen the backs of you hands.

My husband uses those too- he loves them. The backs of his hands look like lizard scales due to the tanning pattern though- he gets a kick out of how much that bothers me to look at it.

Oooh, old school!

I just can't wear men's gloves, though. Well, I used to back in the day, before there were women's gloves. But I don't have to now!

I'd love to get a pair, but a lot of times, men's gloves are too long for me (even though they fit around the palm, the wrist closure is on or behind my wristbone and the finger length is to my knuckles). What size do you wear in these?
I go for a small or medium in women's gloves since I like them to be pretty snug. I'm wondering if an XS in these would do the trick.

He got me the small, which is bigger than my Specialized small. The fingers are a little longish, so I'd say get the extra small. I wear a medium in Terry gloves.

Funny, BF forgot to get himself a pair, so we just came back from looking at the LBS for some. They were sold out in his size (evidently, sailors love them, too).
