Ladies JR gloves?

the chi · 04-29-2009, 03:41 PM

I need some sizing assistance. I am looking at getting a pair of Joe Rocket gloves but having never worn them, I am not certain of their fit.

Do they run small, short, wide, etc?

I have very narrow hands with long skinny fingers, typically I can wear a medium or large, but judging fro the sizing chart, theres no way I could wear a large. Anyone wear JR gloves?

I have two pair of JR and love them but I hate to admit I don't know what size they are. I'll look when I get home tonight for you.

LOL they are large. And considering since I wear large gloves too, I'd say they aren't true to fit since I can wear hers. Maybe not at the track, but getting from A to B it's not so tight a fit.

But since everyone's hand is different, the only way to know is try em on.

*edit - so their medium, but I think they're mens, or UNIsex gloves since nothing on them constitutes "woman" gear. And since I barely fit mediums, this all makes more sense to me.

I have long skinny hands(but maybe a bit bigger because,, well small hands would silly on a giant like me

) and have a couple pairs of JR gloves....they are down at my parents house though so I can call my dad and ask him to look tonight. I think they are larges and they are ladies gloves. They also hold up well in a crash

I obviously can't help you as far as female sizing but in men's sizes they run with everyone else for the most part.

Thanks guys!

My grandmother said I have piano playing fingers, long and slender, but for me they = spider monkey! Gloves that tend towards wider hands and stubbier fingers are a no go...

In any case, please let me know, in the meantime I just ordered these:

Revzilla was good, faster shipping than other retailers, and very personable on the phone. Free shipping, price match and knowledgeable folks!
