To what dimension does the size refer ?? Does it have any relationship to normal glove size conventions ??

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!

From doing a Google search for "glove sizes", it doesn't have any relationship to normal glove size conventions (http://www.walkabout.com/shop/size_glove.asp). We bought the large and they're very snug when I put them on (according to the chart, I should fit a Medium). My wife's hands are smaller than mine and she says I've stretched them so that now they're loose on her (we bought them 5-31-11). Her suggestion is for men to buy the Large and women to buy the Medium.

The 10 and 1/2 inch appears to refer to the dimension from the tip of the middle finger to the far end of the cuff. It is only relevant for the "reach". The fabric is stretchy, the gloves fit both my and my wife's hands, though not as one would expect from, say, driving gloves or Isotoners. Neither of us has particularly small or large hands. We do like ours and use them frequently, the product seems easier and less messy to use than pot holders or mitts. Just beware of hot liquids as the material offers no protection from them. Hope this helps you.

They're very stretchy and should fit an average to large adult hand. My daughter in law, who has small hands (wears a size 5 glove) can't use them. They slip off.

These are not normal glove size conventions. They definitely run large, but that's a good thing. I purchased a medium. I am a woman with average sized hands and they fit big, but that works and does not limited their function. My husband can also comfortably wear them, and he has average sized hands for a man. They run large but don't worry if they're too big.... They'll still keep your hands from being burnt.

Hi, these gloves are rather large especially for a woman but I think they would fit a man's hands just fine. Although they are rather "large" I have not had any problem using them and they have not "slipped" off during use. So for me, the "one size fits all" has not been a problem. So much better than "pot holders" or those finger less mitts.

I would say just over 7 inches. My husband hss large hands and fits perfect for him. We love it.

I have a medium oven glove. The length and width of the oven glove fingers are very close to those of a medium-sized men's leather glove. The dimension across the palm of the oven glove, at the base of the four fingers, is 5 in (men's glove Med is 4.5 in). The palm area of the oven glove is much wider than that of a regular medium men's leather glove. And as I am examining both gloves as I write, I see that all the fingers of the oven glove lay flat and are spread out, whereas in a regular men's leather glove, the thumb is sewn on the "top of the palm area."

If you have a small hand. as I do, they are a little sloppy on your hand, however that doesn't make any difference to the way they work.

one size fits all - fits the men in the family and me - I have 'piano fingers'. Very long and slender.

This should help others looking for a glove sizing chart. Sorry it is a few years late for your question. http://www.shapeitup.com/Harbinger-Glove-Size-Chart_ep_40.html

No idea. I just followed others suggestion to order one size larger than I normally wear. Great gloves for the price, much better than any I bought locally. I wear them every day, and they are wearing wonderfully even after repeated washing.

My guess, from limited purchasing experience, is that they are about the size they should be. Large size gloves that I previously purchased (different brand) we're a bit small. With that in mind, I ordered XXLarge, which were a little big. I expect the XLarge will be just right, which is conducive with the size of my hands. Again, that's just my experience. BTW they are excellent gloves; they outwear any I've previously used, and have been resistant to the chemicals I've used thus far.

Often size large work gloves are too small for my husband, the ones picked up from Home Depot or Lowes but often he just "makes do". I ordered the XL for him & they fit GREAT - not too big either. Hope it helps. PS He loves these gloves for so many tasks protecting his hands.

That's a good question. My husband bought these for me. I usually wear about a medium (5'7" unremarkable hand size) and in many women's gloves that translates to a 7, so that's what he bought me and they fit very well. Good luck!

It's more of a universal size. I'm a woman and I ordered large gloves and they fit perfectly. I have longer fingers so I tend to wear men's gloves in large

If there is a size chart I am not aware of it. I ordered a women's they are a tiny bit snug so if you have large hands you might want a men's. I don't know what the measurement is around my hand but from my wrist to the tip of my fingers is 7". Sorry I only have a ruler handy. Other than that I LOVE the gloves--very warm.

I am not sure what dimensions you need. The small are fine but fit like what I expect surgeon's gloves to fit like....tight. The medium seems just right for me and I use these for most jobs, b/c they're easier to get on and off while still giving me good finger sensitivity.

You can measure the width of your hand at your knuckles. The width should not include the thumb. A small glove will measure up to 3 - 1/4 inches. A medium glove will measure up to 3 - 3/4 inches. A large glove will measure up to 4 - 1/4 inches. This is how the box recommends your size. In my case I took a chance on a medium and it fits well. Sorry I am late responding to the email.

They are plenty big. I usually wear an extra large glove and they fit me with room to spare but they won't be too big if you're a size large. My wife uses them as well and her hand is much smaller than mine.

My hands are probably medium/small ... maybe glove size 7? ... and I don't have that problem. I really love these and recommend them highly.

I have smallish hands, i fit snugly into a medium, but can fit amazingly in a small. I understand where you are coming from =] The gloves should fit just fine because they're supposed to be oversize to ensure that they protect you. I would definitely pick up the medium.

The glove sizes are L/XL though they do come with the package so its practically free if they end up not fitting u can always just order proper onea

What size did you buy? I have not had that problem, BUT I bought the Large Gloves and they fit me right, straight out of the box, so, I am not sure why you're experiencing this issue. So you have no issue with the other "fingers", JUST the thump and the pointing finger, right?Personally, I would keep them based on quality, but that's an opinion based on 3+ years of continuous use.
