Great Gloves, But Weird Sizing?

By Jon Ranked #67 - Snowboard Gloves October 27, 2010

Absolutely love everything about these gloves except for the fit. I have pretty average adult male sized hands (at least I'd like to think). I can't grip a basketball so I didn't think tht I'd need a size XL glove, but the Scouts that I ordered in size Large are tight to the point they're not confortable (and that's without the liners on).

I've seen people here reviewing that you should order a size down, but from my experience I say order a size larger! Not sure if Dakine changed their sizing, but that was my experience at least.

Other than that, I LOVE these gloves. Nebraska winters are known for snow - not pretty snow that falls straight from the sky, but blizzard conditions with 30-40 mile hour winds common. These are the only gloves that I've found in the under-$100 price range that have effectively kept me warm. North Face, Serius, and other brand gloves have failed at this. It also passes the water test as I've held these under the sink for a few minutes without getting my hands wet. That's good enough glove for me.
