my hands are small so with the gloves feel on the stiff side. If i wash them, do they get more flexible?

My hands are so small, I have hands the size of a child that I had to give them to someone else. So I was disappointed of the size.

I have only washed mine in the dishwasher twice but have not not noticed any change in flexibility. Mine were too large for me so I turned them over to my husband who likes to grill and he is happy.

Hello from Verde River Products - If you have extra small hands, have not used gloves very much for other purposes other than cooking and so do not feel comfortable wearing gloves while working- I would not recommend these gloves to you. BUT if you are familiar with how a glove feels while working on various projects you can maneuver your hot cookware and perform various other tasks with these gloves even if you have small hands. We still have the first pair we had made over two years ago and when we compare those gloves to brand new gloves we have noticed our original pair is more flexible - so with use and washings and heat applied to the gloves - the silicone does become more flexible over time.

There is a sizing chart, where you choose the size when you get tactical gloves make sure you take in consideration the shrinking effect when washing them. so if your a small get a medium. they will feel big but after a few washes they will fit to your hand perfectly.

Yes they are somewhat flexible. I have not used them yet. I purchased them to move meat off the grill and to hold on to meat while I cut it. They are not as flexible as thin gloves. But to handle big items it will work. I have big hands and they are a little tight. I wish they came in several sizes.

Absolutely! That's what I bought them for. Our dishwasher likes them because they don't let the water seep down into the gloves. They go all the way up to his shoulders. They are big on me because I have small hands and they are a bit big on him too. But they are textured and grip really well so the fragile things don't slip out of his hands. I now have 4 pair of these. Love them.

I have not tried to wash them, but I bet you could turn them inside out and wash them by hand and then air dry. I find the fingertips get too stiff for me after about a month and a half and then I just toss them. They do not smell at that point.

Yes the cold does make them a bit stiff but never had a problem with them being too hard. Wore them today @32 degrees this morning. I've had to wash a set on the road and they're very soft after a hand wash in the sink.

Yes, but we bought them to be stiff. You can get softer ones, but we really wanted these. My wife uses them and said with time they will be fine.Bruce

I have only washed them once in my washer on delicate. Since then I have been just washing them with soap and water while on my hands and it has been great! I hang them to dry on my drying rack.

I would wash them by hand - I threw them in the washing machine and they came apart - I would not by this product again. They do not fit people with large arms also.

These gloves do not stretch, however they do decome more pliable. If you need them a bit larger I would recommend purchasing the next size up. Personally, it is easier to work with fitted gloves.

Karen,Your hand size and my hand size are about the same. I always get medium just to be on the safe side, and I'm glad I got a medium in these. The gloves that I had fit well. In no way did I think that they were going to fall off. I truly believe that the smalls would be too small, although these gloves do stretch. Bottom line is I would get the mediums. Worst case sinerio you can send them back and get the smalls, but I don't think that you'll have to.

no, the gloves are flexible. not sure that you can full fist, but they work for paintball well enough.

This gloves are very stretchy. I wear the medium gloves and they fit perfectly and I often have to wear large gloves in those that are not stretchy. I have wide hands but not long fingers. I have also worn my daughters small gloves in a pinch. They are tight but do fit. I would probably buy the medium size if you think the large may be too large.

If you really have sensitive wrists, you could give a chance to the gloves, otherwise I don't think you will have any issues with it. I don't find it hard on the hands/wrists whatsoever.

I have small ladies hands, too. They are a wee bit loose, but they work just fine (for me). They are nice and long and that is a good thing. ;)

I wash dishes in very hot water daily. The gloves have performed very well and protect my hand well. Hope it helps.

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.
