Glove fitting - i know i know!

[djben9]

guys,

quick one,....bit of a silly question really!

I have some Viper gloves, just general ones but fit ok, cant complain, in XL

ive just got some Mechanix M-pact gloves. Used the size chart online to be sure etc., came up as XL

Now they fit fine on the fingers, feel 'tight' not lose around fingers which is good i guess for better feel of things but top of thumb seems to be floppy

Not sure if i should send them back for a size bigger or smaller size, as in should the thumb be a better fit?

don't want to keep posting back and fourth tbh if i can help it

Do other makes come up like this with some people or is it just the cut of glove, hands etc and not worth worrying about

p.s i do expect the stretch thumb, cut thumb type answers!!! haha

maybe you just have short thumbs?

could be, wish there was a shop nearby to try on, im sure it will be fine, i like the tight fitting on the fingers, sort of hugging as it allows a better touchy feely type thing....ok i'll stop there!

just curious how others get on

dont worry, 2 weeks time it will be first AEG and battery suggestions.....Raider a mo.....or G36....

If everything else fits right now, then it won't when you get a difference size glove. I'd stick with what you have if most areas are fitting correctly.

My Mechanix gloves are fine maybe what jcheesewright said you might just have small thumbs.
