Anyone got these?
Hestra's size guide is telling me I shold have a size 8, but I'm a bit dubious bacause I have smallish hands and am usually a 6.5/7. Are their sizes a bit on the small side or what?

Lizzard, sizes vary from glove to glove, I have a couple of pairs and I'm pretty sure they are different sizes but fit the same (if that makes sense). Sorry, don't have them to hand to double check.

I've had a look at the size guide, and measured my hands . I was about a size 6-6.5 (although they don't do the half size) which is normal for me.

They do give a little with use so a snug but comfy fit when first trying on seems ideal.

They definitely pack out with use but I'd say they're a wee bit smaller than equivalent Salomon/Phoenix gloves

I discover that Ski Extreme stocks them and I seem to be a 6 as usual.

I am an 8 in these gloves as per usual.
I might add that I love Hestra gloves though I think they are worth every penny.
They are comfortable, warm, waterproof and robust what more can you want from gloves?

Anyone know if there's any significant difference between the women's and men's Heli gloves?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Lizzard, I've got a nice pair of Size 8's on ebay at the moment.... Take a look they're mint. Bit small for me and a bit too warm. I'm a small-handed bloke so 8's might be fine for you.

red 27, way too big, sorry. Easiski has a pair in size 8 and they're huge - I'm definitely a 6 as usual. Clearly I was doing something utterly incompetent while measuring my hands.

You know it makes sense.
|

Lizzard, Hestras are really bad for changing fit in each model. I have some pretty big 10s and some reasonably tight 9s in different gloves...

red 27, Helis in a 6, I think. Post-Christmas present, possibly.

Oh Joy! I finally got some Salomon soft shell gloves to replace a) the Hestras I'm selling and b) that match my jacket.
There is much to be said for that auction site that Must Not Be Named
