    Hi all,

    I've recently purchased a pair of HELD gloves over the net by using the hand measuring charts provided (size=10). But when the gloves arrived, they were way too big.

    Now I'm returning them for a smaller size, but I'm not sure which size to ask for? I measured my hand (again) and could possibly fit into the next size down (size=9), but I'm contemplating buying 2 sizes smaller (size=8) as there was half an inch protruding over each finger and I couldn't safely work all the handle controls.

    Does anyone have experience with the HELD gloves brand?
    Any recommendations?

    If you have an Infinity store near you, go try some on.

    At least the Farnborough store has them.

    IMO One of the pit falls of buying clothing etc over the internet, always best to try before you buy, i appreciate a lot of good deals can be found but unless you can get a good fit first time a lot of two ing and throwing goes on, perhaps you have an old set of gloves you could post off to them so they can compare sizes?
    Good luck, let us know the outcome :)

    Yeah Giv's right, riding glove sizes don't seem to have any consistency with hand sizes or non riding gloves.
