If I'm a female with small hands will the smalls work or are these for men?

As a woman also with small hands, I went and tried these on. I bought them for my 22 year old son. They are most likely for men, as the fingertips were longer than my fingers. I can see how quickly I could become frustrated with that, so I would like something smaller, personally. Hope this helps!

No, they will not fit a small hand. I have a medium-sized hand and they were too large to be useful.

They are mostly for men but I think a woman could perfectly use as well if they were a smaller size.

Did not give me a choice of size, if you have large hands it will be iffy if these will work for you. I am a girl, with fairly small hands, a little large on me. A man who work with me, tried mine on, it was a very tight squeeze to get his hand in.

Yes, my hand is pretty average sized and they fit fine. I imagine they would be slightly small or tight on men's hands.

The paddles are adjustable so it helps fitting. I think that the amount of resistance you want when you pull should also impact your decision. I'm a female and my hands are bigger than most girl hands but definitely smaller than guys hands. I wanted to pull against more resistance so I got medium. The little elastic bands do adjust, but I like them tight so they stay secure. I probably would wear small latex gloves.

The gloves are unisex...you need to go onto Outdoor Research's web page and use the sizing chart they offer...once you measure what they tell you, check the sizing chart and your fit will be perfect...if you've ever burned your hands while out 'n about, these will save you from repeating that...I now have 3 pairs...I always carry one spare pair for the "what~if's"...they are so comfortable that I forget I have them on after my hike...use OR's web sizing chart...

Giro lists them as mens' gloves on their homepage. Anyway, Giro has very accurate sizing guides with inch/centimeter specifications for both genders. So, you should be able to figure out whether any of the mens' sizes will fit your hands (I hope the links are not deleted by Amazon...): http://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/men_glove_fitguide.pdfhttp://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/women_glove_fitguide.pdfTheir guides were very accurate in my experience.Btw: I really like these gloves. Good quality. The pads are positioned properly and will prevent numb hands. Giro lists them as mens' gloves on their homepage.

I have women medium hands. They were snug on me at first. After a bit they fit well but not loosely. I know they fit men's hands as well. It seems that they start snug on everyone and then adjust to the wearer's hand size. I love these gloves as they cover my wrists and go halfway up my forearms. There will be no lower arm burns with these! Also, they are flexible.

I'm not sure if I have petite hands or not but I and my hands are both slender. I think they'll be fine for the purpose. Actually, they might be a little snug on a chubby hand.

I'm sure woman can use these gloves however it all depends on their hand structure. I would measure the hands as described and since these fit snug they would pay likely work with most women's hands. I've seen women with super small hands and larger hands and the main concern I think would be finger thickness and length. There might be a better alternative out there specifically made for women.

They are made for a small to medium boned individual. My hands are on the larger side and they fir snugly.

I would say the glove 'sizes' refer to mens' hands, not womens', however, I am a woman with relatively small hands and the gloves fit me just fine for cooking and the grip is great!

I would say they are a men's size medium. I am a woman with larger hands, and they fit....but no extra room. They are of good quality.

I found them to be very snug so I think they would work for most women and some men. However, if anyone weighs more than 175 I would think they would be tight. Hope this helps.

I have medium sized hands and they fit rather comfortably. They might be a little big if you have small hands.

I have average sized hands. Perhaps you can try them and see. Ask about return policy for this vendor
