Arc'teryx Vertical SV Glove

So I just received my Vertical SV glove, and one thing I noticed between this and the Alpha glove is the liner. Is the liner inside the Vertical supposed to be extremely baggy and large? The Alpha was nice and fitted around my fingers. Also, what size do you wear? I love these gloves, but I can't get the sizing right. The small's felt short, but now with the medium I feel like they are slightly too long, where my thumb doesn't move with the glove. I guess the only reason the original glove felt short is because it felt a little restricted only when extending my fingers out as far out as possible. I really wish I had the option to compare in store. Thanks to anyone that can help! Seriously!

Hey, I just spent a while trying on the vertical sv gloves and the aplha sv gloves, and I could definitly feel a difference in the liners. I found that the liner in the vertical sv glove and the new blue alpha sv glove were much baggier and not as comfortable as the ones on the black alpha sv glove. Quite strange

Yea, I think the problem I have is the fact that I ordered a medium thinking the smalls were too short. That might also explain the bagginess of the liners. I might go with the small's then. Thanks a lot!

The gloves (Alpha and Vertical) are meant for your hand to be slightly bent at all times. The moment you extend your fingers in these gloves the fit feels weird. As long as they fit fine with your fingers in the grip position they should work. I wear a medium and have long thin fingers- they felt short during extension on me as well. I just realized that I dont normally extend my fingers while skiing. If you prefer the fit of the ALpha why not get those
