    Hey there

    Not sure about your gloves,
    Are they leather with mesh?
    We got some Dririder ones that were a tad too tight, but they did loosen up.
    Maybe you can soak them and then wear them? Just a thought it works for boots?

    I would just wear them all the time

    New gloves are always slightly on the tight side for me .. takes about a week for them to become more comfortable just through wear

    You have to be very carefull with gear,as they are generally asian sizes & can easily catch you out,I would suggest just wearing them to stretch,if they are leather,they will stretch to the shape of your hand

    I bought some Quasi gloves and they were real tight as I don't like them loss.

    Probably a size too small for me. Good gloves and did well in my off. I still use them but it took a month to break them in and until then my knuckles went raw and I wore them around the house clenching and unclenching my fingers.

    Now they fit perfect. Most materials will stretch in time. My leather suit was so tight from new I couldn't breathe and hardly could get on the bike. Now, perfect.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    I borrowed some real small leather pants for a trackday when I didn't have my own. They were so tight I couldn't throw a leg over the bike and had to climb on over the back!

    Also, Just make sure that they don't have excessive bling on then eh Nasty
    I think you must have been Quasi's best friend when you bought them gloves on Saturday He probably gained about 5k per litre by lossing that weight in the van.
    Come on Grub, let the world see Nasty's new gloves....
    I'm only wearing black until they develop something darker
