Do you have freakishly large thumbs on your normally large (if slightly slender) hands? What gloves are you using?!

Yes! Bioracer windblock for general winter use, Defeet Duragloves for less cold weather/racing, Pearl Izumi lobsters when it’s terrible weather.
XXL for the Bioracer and Pearl Izumis, the Defeets are XL but have really long fingers and thumbs. That might only be on the batch that I bought two pairs from recently though as I’ve used them for years and previously they were a bit tight.

I’ve really long fingers/thumbs rather than huge palms which may make a difference to the fit.

You know what they say about fellas with big hands eh?

Specialized BG gloves for me 🙂

sahweeeet! Do you find the Bioracers OK for wet riding? (I live oop North!) I’ve had some windproof Sealskinz that were as good as waterproof and other brands that got so wet from sweat they were worse for being waterproof coz the buggers wouldn’t dry!

Always Liked BG shoes, will look into their gloves too 🙂
