What do you recommend for gloves

Hi everyone!

My boyfriend ordered me nice Dainese gloves last year with inner lining to help through the cold nights we get here in the San Diego winters (ok, don't laugh I realize SD cold is nothing compared to other states, but on the freeway at 40-50 degree temps life sucks too!). It was size XS, but my fingers were about an inch too short and I couldn't ride smoothly. Now it is getting cold again and I want to buy gloves that fit!

Have any of you had good experience with a particular brand of gloves, that are for cold weather, and your hands are relatively tiny. Any help would be appreciated :)

Thanks!

my sister has small hands but long fingers, so we found that the Held XS was a good fit for her for...they were an older version of the current Phantom glove that we found on clearance at a local stealership and they ended up being a goldmine of a win!...worth looking into!

I've had the best luck with Rev'It gloves so far.  I may check out the Helimot ones at some point.

Thank you gals for responding!

I really like the look of the Rev'It gloves and love that Helimot will repair your gloves if you wear them out. It will just be a matter of going into a retail store and trying them on. It sucks because you don't know how they fit until you are riding with them you know?

I will look into Held as well, but i have short fingers and that was the problem with the Dainese XS gloves.

I am going to have to wait for Christmas to be over before I buy anything due to lack of funds. It is the giving season after all.
