I can't find a pair of quality, protective gloves that will fit my stubby fingers properly. I've tried SM alpinestars (fingers way too long), XS cortechs (still too long but not as bad as A*), and Women's S icons (what I'm using now.. still about 1/4" of loose material).. and the palm, wrist area will fit very snug but there's always 1/4" to 1/2" of loose material at the end of the fingers.

Anyone know of any brands or specific models with shorter than average finger lengths? I'm looking for a shorter cuff street style leather gloves w/ armor.

Thanks.

Not that I know of...have you tried hitting up your local Cycle Gear to check out the brands that they have? They have gloves from Dainese to Frank Thomas, so I think that might be worth a shot.

oops...

arthur, i know you wanted a shorty glove, but i found these at newenough.com

they are the gauntlet type. if you click on the "select item here", then you can choose either the long or short fingers.

Gary, thanks for the link - I saw those earlier but it is a little out of my price range and I'm looking for a more street-style glove.

I wish more manufacturers gave the option for short/long fingers like the Nero

I was going to recommend the Held gloves as well. Something you may think about also is taking your fav brand/style of gloves to a seamstress who can maybe shorten the fingers for you. I know a very good tailor and I may try this with a pair of gloves I bought on sale but the fingers are just a bit too long...

I have the same problem.
wide hands short fingers.

Babybiker.com UK kids sizes heavy duty. They take kid's riding serious over there. I ordered a pair and am happy with them and the customer service.

Hey Zartan! Thanks, I checked those out... I emailed BabyBiker about 4 days ago with some questions regarding the gloves but they never got back to me :confused:

Do you think they would stand up in a high speed crash? They were designed for mini-moto, not street bikes.

Also, is the leather thick and/or ventilated? Do you know what kind of leather?

Thanks!

You just have to chuckle when you see a thread authored by a muffin man complaining about short fingers

yes the leather is stout and built well. I do not know if the carbon is real cf or not. But they are very thick I imagine Moo. I think they are as good as a pair of icons... I really like the HELD ones pricey ....

I am so surprised that you have not heard back, the customer service was great for me . But there was a delay of about a day due to the time difference.
