The part that covers the wrist/arms looks much shorter than several of the other gloves I am looking at. Is this an issue for anyone?

The wrist portion of the glove I received is about 4". The length of the glove from the end of the middle finger is around 11". I haven't noticed any heat problems while barbecuing.

The length from the tip of the middle finger to the end of the wrist is 10.5 inches (total length over all)From the wrist joint to the end of the glove is just over 3.5 inches. (10.5 - 3.5 + 7 inches for the hand) I have not found this to be a issue. However depending on far into the oven you are reaching this could present a problem. Hope the info helps you make a decision. They are excellent gloves and have been washed twice and still provide excellent protection from heat.

I wondered about that, too! However, the gloves are really longer than they appear: about 3-1/2" to 4" long in the cuff. They cover just the right amount. For example, when I use the gloves to open a boiling pot, the steam has no effect on me. They are truly just long enough. I have put my hands into the oven to take out a dish without pulling out the oven tray and had no ill effects. I've used them grilling and experienced absolutely no discomfort when cooking. These gloves wash up wonderfully, and I use them every single time I cook, every single day. You will appreciate having two pair. I honestly cannot find one bad thing to say about these gloves.

Absolutely not an issue. My husband has very large hands and these gloves set way above his wrists.

Sorry for the delay. The cuffs are 3 1/2 inches and long enough for me. I haven't burnt myself yet. (knock on wood)

My hand measures 7 1/4 around the pawlm above the thumb and below the fingers. I wear a small glove and it fits perfectly.

Very slightly... I find that I position my arms wider than normal, but not in an uncomfortable way... I have not really thought much about it but I would guess that my hands are further out towards the ends of the grips because of this.

They are long enough if I wear short sleeves shirt. They don't fit the entire arm if I wear sleeveless shirt. They are a bit short to cover the very top of the arm. No they don't go over my hand. I wish they cover the hand as well?

I only have small gloves, so cannot answer your question. I really like mine and I have tried several other brands. These are the best.

I hadn't taken them off the cardboard yet, but I just did so I can answer you... the package says" most suited for smaller hands". My hands are about average, and these gloves seem to fit me fine.

U mean the size? I bought it and i never measure it, but im thin, and my hand is about 6cm width (so the circle might be around 15cm), still i have to cut off two ring to make it tight to my wrist, but i regret it, i should have only cut one. Lol. Now its too tight. If u have normal width of arm, i guess it will fit u without cut off one or two ring. If u r kinda (sorry) fat, u might wanna look again at the measurement

My guess is that the wrist strap is proportionate with the hand size. But the strap was fairly long. I have small hands, I bought a sz S. if your hands aren't very big I'd buy the large. I think there will be enough strap to wrap your wrist. I hope this helps.

My wrists are 6" very small. But this product was for my daughter. She is a massage therepist and volleyball player. She has very large hands and I know my hand does not fit around her wrist. She said she would measure her wrist for me when she got home and I will submit another answer then. She did tell me it fits her perfectly and there is still room to adjust it out and in. Don't forget to put a light towel or glove over your hand or you could burn the skin -these get really cold

The portion against your hand is not. The outer part might be - if it is it is a low grade leather. I have used it for 6 months now and no issues.

They are different, the wrist guard is mostly just for baseball. The evoshield wrap basically similar to having your wrist taped.

i am adult male, 200 lbs, average+ , thin hands (not meaty). they fit me fine, small hands could use them . keep in mine that connected to the glove is hand wraps---- is you look carefully you can see they wrap around hand and up to wrist. i love the fast you have glove and wrap all in one. I love them and the price is great!!!!!!!!

I ordered the standard strap and I think I have skinny arms. I have no problem with this fitting my arm. Unless this is for a child I think most would be fine with the standard 15in strap

Is that with or without your wraps on? I have smaller hands than that and with my wraps on, my gloves are nice and snug. Considering these are heavy bag gloves, I would highly recommend wraps even if that causes you to go up a size in gloves.

Can be above the wrist. The short leathers should be palm side and the suede side should cover the back of your hand. I stretch the elastic when I am putting the glove on so that I can fasten it just below the wrist, but it always slides into position above my wrist when I flex my hand. If you find your wrist gets irritated by the constriction, loosen the Velcro a little!

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

It is a clunky fit just like the big mitten type, but what bothers me is that the fingers are too long. I guess that's b/c it's a unisex size... On up side, fits my husband too. Down side, b/c we are used to gloves fitting more snugly, it takes a little getting used to. You still probably have more control than w/ mitten kind tho, and it gets the job done.
