    Struggling to find full finger gloves that will fit.
    if measuring width of my hand I am an XL but measure finger length and I am an S

    See the problem?

    I used to have 661 Recon and a L used to fit perfectly, but the last couple of years that model have changed in sizing and the L now have fingers which are now way to long.

    Anyone got any ideas for brands to look at? or will I be forced to start cutting the fingers off

    Bookmarked. Got the same issue.
    In the past I have cut fingers off and sewed the ends. Then waterproofed with silicone sealant! Ugly but it worked.

    Be interested if anyone has a better plan.

    I’m the opposite. XL-XXL length, L width (long and skinny, like the rest of me 😉 ). Anyone else the same as me feel free to add suggestions here, especially for thin/minimal gloves.

    The old 661 Rev XXL was an excellent fit on me; wish I had stocked up with a few pairs. The current 661 Comp XXL is massive but the XL is a good length on me and width just a little big.

    Lornholio – I’ve the same issues as you. Looong fingers… (though rest of me is not so long and skinny).

    I’ve found these…

    …to be very good – cheap too (I go with an XXL). No palm padding so nice and thin.

    Sorry OP – no use to you.

    All the best,

    I’m with the OP – wedding ring is a size ‘T’, but my fingers are shorter than my (5’2″, petite) wife’s.

    Which is why I ride in (women’s) fingerless riding gloves.

    Maybe we need to petition 661 to make short and long finger versions of their gloves

    So today i came across some Serfas gloves.
    Their Medium fits me perfectly.
