XL biker gloves wanted
« on: 28.05. 2013 10:49 »
My son bought me a pair of bike gloves. Although they are size Large they are too tight for me. I'm looking for a pair of XL bike gloves. Anyone got any to sell or swap?

Er - Winter/Summer - Long/Short?

I always buy the biggest I can - I have large hands but my main problem is a big 'crutch' betwixt thumb and first finger ...

I've got a pair of spare Spring/Autumn intermediate gloves. Mixed leather and textile; supposedly waterproof, predominantly black. From Hein Gerrike (sp?).

Happy to stick them in the post is you want to pm me an address.

I'm happy to say that cyclobutch has generously donated a pair of decent gloves to me. Once again the friendship on this forum has been demonstrated!

Anyone in the UK interested in a, (free) pair of biker gloves that are marked as large but are too small for me?

Nice offer but no thanks I'm a medium (no not that kind)

May I just added respectfully that I'm glad you weren't my local copper when I was younger and the practice of "a good clip around the lug and on yer way" was the norm
