Product Description
Designed in Britain with input from technical experts and athletes, the SealSkinz Helvellyn XP gloves have pre-curved fingers for dexterity and a durable synthetic palm for grip. And you won’t have to keep removing these gloves to use your phone, because the thumb and index fingers are touchscreen compatible Read More
The problem is the measurement/width of the glove, at the thumb, side to side. Once you are in the glove, the fit is fine. There is a inner linerthat will reverse when you pull your hand out. Very hard/troublesome to put them on.......
Jimbo65I was able to jam my hands into the gloves, but the constriction below the thumb makes these very uncomfortable. It seems like the fingers and palm are correctly sized, though. I buy medium because it usually means that my fingers have no extra space at the tips.
When I remove my hands, the liner pulls out of the glove a considerable distance as well.
Hey Everyone,
We have had some members of the drop write in about sizing and if this also affects you please take a moment to contact our Community Support team through your transactions page. Thank you!
MikeMDHi,
I did so and they just gave me the standard company line about items that qualify for returns which doesn't seem to cover sizing unless it's an issue with 'not as advertised'. Could you advise please?
xdfoThat was the same reply I got as well. The medium-sized gloves are considerably tighter than other medium gloves I've purchased in the past, and the fit is painful near the wrist joint.
I'm not sure what to do with these except maybe give them as a gift. This issue has changed my mind about purchasing clothing, gloves, and other items where fit is important from Massdrop .
Just got my gloves today (M). Super tight. Barely able to stuff my hand into them. The ”feature” on thumb and index finger to allow use of touchscreen devices does not work at all.
I think the sizing is off also. I wear a 10 (size Large), I can barely get my hands inside the larges I got. Very tight fit.
If I had known that fit was toward small size I would have ordered an XL. Any one ordering in the future, I recommend going up one size.
vikesguy62I normally wear medium and ordered a size up and got large. Still struggle to get my hands into these gloves. It seems like the lower palm area is way too small and has no stretch to it.
sbrookerI agree, that is the same spot I had trouble with. Once I forced my hand past the lower palm area I could get my hand in to the glove but it was really tight.
The sizing on this is not accurate. I measure 7.5" (per http://www.glove.org/Modern/glovemeasure.php) which should be a "S" per MassDrop's chart- I could not even begin to get my hand into a "S."
Might be great gloves for some, a waste of time and money for this application.
Lesson learned. Anyone interested in a "S" pair, you may find mine on FleaBay!
Hi All,
Do you think this pair of gloves would be suitable for skiing/snowboarding?
I've seen that it has a thermal rating of 4 on their website, with 5 and 5+ being the 2 grades above it. However, it does not state specifically if a rating of 4 will be sufficient for snowsports.
Thanks in advance!
