I would like a glove that would protect me from a raptors talons......what do you think? Is this the glove for me? And, do they come in size Medium?

Good glove, I use them for the fireplace. I have seen an eagle's talons up close and for that I wouldn't recommend the glove. Although I am not qualified I still think they would work for a smaller bird.

These are excellent gloves for use with our wood stove and fire pit. Can't say if they would work for your purpose, but I have used them as garden gloves when pulling out pricker bushes and trimming holly bushes and remained unscratched.

Sorry I have no experience with raptors. I use these when melting lead and they are a little light for my use.

I have large hands and the gloves were snug when I got them but stretched to a comfortable fit, so you may try them and see if they snug. Since they are on Amazon Prime, it is no trouble to return them, but I don't think you will. Get the 23 inch size as it provides protection up to the elbow which no other glove has done before and it was needed. I have used them for yard work and moving concrete blocks and patio stones and I rate these 5 Stars for endurance and protection.

I can't answer your specific question, but here's what I found: My hand measures 8 3/4 inches around the knuckles and I ordered the Large Size. They were too large, so measure your hands around the knuckles, and unless they are perhaps 9 inches or more, order the Small. Don't you wish glove manufacturers would give some specific size recommendations using actual measurements? After all, sizes such as Large, Small, Medium mean nothing at all.

I would not recommend these gloves....I bought them and was not happy with them...They fit ok at first but very quickly stretched out....For a couple dollars more I wouldrecommend these gloves.....I bought them from Amazon and they are beautiful...I love em....Copy and paste this into Amazon's search, "Thermoskin Premium Arthritic Gloves", they have a sizing chart right on the ad.....Wear these during the day when you have pain and also wear them at night....When you go to sleep put them on and wear them all night.

Hi Kathleen, My apologies for the late reply as it was a busy weekend! Mechanix compared to other gloves is mainly a matter of choice. They are priced well and they are durable.;-)

Cf. my posted review if you haven't already. I normally weak men's medium glove - clearly not large or small. I had the same glove in medium (I lost it kayaking in June) and it was okay (size-wise). But the one I purchased this year in medium was too small for my medium hand. I can get it on, but with difficulty and it is really too tight. Perhaps it will stretch with time. But if I were ordering again, I would order large for myself. Hope this gives you at least some idea. I can't say much about how it would fit a woman's hands -- but perhaps you can make a guess from my comments on how it fits my normal men's hands. Cf. my posted review if you haven't already.

I usually purchase Valeo's Ocelot gloves. I'm 5'10 and my hands are thin and small. However, I always purchase size L and they fit perfectly.

Thank You All for your wonderful response's! A comment to R. Cheatham..yes I did measure around the palm not including the thumb. I should have been more clear when writing my question - OOOPS! I haven't ever purchased gardening or any other glove online before - in store's only and don't have any of my gardening gloves left to check on a size...forget memory...LOL. I would really like to try these gloves they sound like they would be a dream to use. Thank You All Again

"Sandeep, I also have these gloves and they are great for all my needs. Keep fingers warm in the coldest weather and I compete with them in shoot competitions which require fast firing, reloading and fire in all conditions, never failed me once. Since they are very thin and stretch comfortably they will probably serve your need very well, however I have not used them for that purpose,yet. Hope this helps, good luck

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!!!!!!!!

The best way I know how to tell you what size to get is whatever you generally would say you wear in men's gloves and go 1 size smaller. The last pair I got, that thinking went well for me. I love the gloves, but per the norm of gloves I buy (which is a lot) they run almost 1 size bigger. I do work outside all day and highly recommend these gloves.

I've always worn a medium glove, in every type of glove, and I bought this glove in medium too. It fits fine, maybe a little bit larger than I'm used to but still probably better than the small would be.

Yes it is a good size glove for an 8 year old...my son loves his glove and his coaches agree

I normally would go with a medium glove, but the large is fine, as I did not want skin tight garden gloves. Plenty of room for the fingers, but am still able to grip pruners, etc., without any problem and still pick up cut pieces of plants from the ground. Gauntlet extends nearly to my elbow, which is what I wanted.

There are basically two sizes....Big and large. I am a man with a size 9 glove and I wear a SM/MD in this glove. It is very stretchy so you can go smaller if needed. If you are an average sized female the SM/MD should fit best.

I Would Go With The 11. Keep In Mind These Are Supposed To Be Snug. They Are Not Meant To A Bulky Snow Mitten. They Are Snug To Allow For Great Dexterity. Waterproof. Best Glove I Have Ever Owned. Our Whole Family Has Them now.

i'm not quite sure. they do come in a pretty good range of sizes. I wear a large, maybe a small cut extra large. these do give just a little, so they might be o.k. they ARE fantastic for keeping the raw, cold wind off your knuckles. while they're not heavy winter gloves, they ARE an all around pretty good. the first couple of fingers have a double thickness on the tip to prevent getting stuck. I'm totally satisfied. hope this helped!!!
