Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Flexmeter guards and the matching gloves or mitts, probably best to order online

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I'd second the Level Fly, but you may need to buy online.

Just thinking it will be hard to get the correct glove size over the internet

I was worried about that too, but most places do free returns these days, or postage costs at worst.
With the level gloves they describe quite well how to measure, which helps!

Right !
If I do want to step into a store, I see "Absolute-Snow", any other which is the "biggest" and most professional I can step to in the London area ?

The Ellis Bingham/TSA store at Tamworth isn't a million miles from Leicester - they're bound to have something you can try on, although I'd imagine that you'll have to pay a premium. Being a member of a club like SCUK will get you a 10%-15% discount.

Get some wrist guards ! I don't like the ones that come with some gloves (found that they tended to wrench thumbs something chronic) - prefer the Velcro wraparound ones. Buy those separately and gloves without the included support - tends to be my strategy.

@JezC, Exactly why I suggested the Flexmeters
@gurlavie, Most glove manufactures give size charts, only takes a couple of measurments to figure out your size.
