I've got a set of Quasi's Knox SPS gloves that are just a smidgen tight widthwise across the knuckles which means my palms can't relax on the grips and feel what's going on... screws everything up.
I figured that with wear they'd stretch and be perfect but they're tough little mofo's and resisting my efforts so it's time for more drastic measures.
Anybody got any secret techniques to bludgen them into shape?

No. You might need a bigger pair like I did...Originally Posted by carbonhed

Warmth and dampness make leather relax and stretch a little... so find something a little wider than your knuckles (maybe a shoe? a bottle? a tightly rolled newspaper? take a look around and use your imagination!)
Now warm the leather to make it relax, shove your selected item firmly into the glove, and let it cool/dry slowly with your mould still inside.
Gosh this post sounds dodgy.

Got the pair indicated by the dimensions chart - couldn't get them on. Sent them back - replaced with the next size up - still didn't fit. Sent them back to try largest size.....still waiting!

My most recently acquired gloves, (Held Akira) were tight. To deal to the problem I just wore them on short trips hoping to break them in gradually.
This is turniing out to be a long slow process.
The idea of dunking them in a tub of warm water and sitting around the house wearing them until they dry doesn't really appeal. Maybe I'll just wear them on my next wet weather trip? Might not be too long with the bloody weather we've been having.

I have a pair of quasi gloves which got damaged when trying to get them off. This was a blessing as to repair them I inserted elastic each side of the knuckle protectors. The gloves are now comfy as the armour moves as the hand clenches and is still there to do its job if required.
This does require attacking the gloves with a pair of scissors and spending a couple of hours sewing in the elastic.

One, two free, floor!
I got a pair of quasi gloves - they were tight to start with but I persevered.../ probably... 5 hours riding time - in all weathers.
Comfy as hell now, and a perfect (PERFECT) fit

Recommend breaking them in slowly, tight at first is ideal so once they relax they are right. They should be firm at first but not painful also.

Well that's where I went wrong then. Mine were painful to begin with, not so much now and if I can just stretch them a few mm more they'll be like surgeons gloves.
Nice gloves though.
Ahhh....Opps....
Hahahahahahaha.....
I'm sorry, I don't mean to poke fun. It was a perfectly valid question (to which I don't know then answer) but it just really tickled me:
Q: My gloves are to small.
A: Buy bigger ones.

No, but I hope you've now learned that it's more important to buy gloves that fit rather than just because they look cool or have the "right" name.
