I've read the recent threads on glove sizes and searched for others, so at this point, do any of you have the same problem I do: large gloves fit through the palm, but my fingers are long and I end up having to get XL but there is always a knot of fabric between me and the grip. If I tough it through L gloves, then my fingers end up killing me.

Can anyone recommend a glove or manufacturer with longer fingers? Thanks in advance.

I know Motoport has some Kevlar racing gloves for 129 bucks. The nice part is you trace your hand and follow there directions so im pretty sure they will be a perfect custom fit might try them.

If you don't choke on the price tag ($159.00), try the Held Nero Sport Touring Gloves. Held makes this particular glove in both long and regular finger lengths. Link (You might also try the Scorpion Magnum gloves for roughly half the price of the Helds. The fingers are longer than most gloves, but not as long as the Held Nero longs. The Scorpion gloves fit me perfectly.)

I'm waiting for T'cutter to get his first. I don't think the gloves are custom made, I believe the hand tracing is to get the closest size. They ask that you do that for any of their gloves whether they make them or not. I could be wrong.
Gotcha i havent ordered a pair "yet" im going to soon i want to see how the jackets are before i get gloves/pants etc. I took that hand measure deal to imply custom fit. Sorry if im wrong trying to help :dribble:

 
I have found that the Joe Rocket gloves tend to be somewhat narrow. Thus, you can get the extra-large and the palm will fit.

Kobe Pro Racing Glove

Maybe the style isn't quite "sport-touring" but whatever, they protect the hands extremely well and are super comfortable once they break in.

I own two products from Kobe (Misano 1-pc and the Pro Racing gloves) and am very happy so far with the quality and constuction.

Make an account with 1888fastlap.com and watch that retail price plummet!

Additionally, I've had excellent dealings with 1888fastlap...even when I called them directly with some questions.

Nope, they are not custom.

I returned a pair of size XL The fingers were a good fit so long as I held my hands flat. But there was enough slack in the palm area that a gripping position would result in the fingers slipping forward, leaving them too long. I'm exchanging them for size L and will see how that size works out when they come.

Recent personal experience with Parts411 on this exact product forces me to suggest looking elsewhere. And that's all I've got to say about that... :glare:
