Glove Recommendations

I have small hands, but measuring around my knuckles gives me 9.2".... Surely I'm not XL.

Is it measured across knuckles closest to finger tips or knuckles closest to wrist???

Hmmm, thought knuckles were defined as the joint where finger joins body of hand (palm?)...... el-googling to verify

"a joint of a finger, especially one of the articulations of a metacarpal with a phalanx"

So yeah, main joint where finger joins hand.

That makes no sense cos seriously I have small *** hands, no way I'd be the XL size. Are these made for children or are Germans half our size??

XL like condoms

I can now respond with 20:20 hindsight, having just now finished cleaning up after a brew, utilising my XL Blichmann gloves.

As those of you who have met me would know, I'm not exactly a small fella, about 190 cm tall. I found the XL size gloves a little big for my hands. Admittedly, I'm not a bricky or butcher, so don't have sausage fingers, but not exactly petite, either.

Well inulated, and definitely safe, but if I had my druthers, I'd order the (L)arge. Make of that what you will.

I could possibly find you a buyer for those over-sized (once-used) gloves & provide you an avenue of getting the right sized ones....

Marigold Emperor gloves. Brilliant for cleaning up with anything hot, can get a bit slippery though. Can find them on ebay or amazon. Just be careful of sizing as they come in different lengths as well, unless you want them coming up to your shoulders.....

Gloves ??? :blink: What are you an OH&S consultant or something??

 

[huez]

Not sure who that is directed at, but no i am not a OH&S consultant. I just don't like my hands scalded by hot water. You keep being tough for the rest of us though buddy.
