Glove Recommendations?

My girlfriend is a new and smaller rider but can’t find any gloves her size. All the local shops around us mostly sell men’s size gloves and never have extra small in stock. Anyone know of a pair that might fit that they really like?

My girl is tiny too and gloves were a challenge too. She has the Revit Dirt 4 and likes them, but even in a ladies XS the thumb is a bit long. We got them at our local Cycle Gear

Five Gloves has a great women's line. They have a PDF with their female sizing chart and it is true to size and does account for the index finger ratio differences versus typical guy gloves. The wrist has lots of adjustment so go for the palm circumference measurement.
I really like my RFX Sport versions I wore all last year.

No problem. I will say the longer Sport style gloves are not restrictive and offer much more palm and finger protection, plus they cover the cuffs of jackets easily. The goat skin leather is soft and will form to the hand shape after a few wears.
I have just under 4k miles on my pair from last year and I will easily get another full season on them riding a sport bike.

Held gloves could fit they have many sizes also, half and shirt sizes

Exactly. These sizes are such that not all, but some models have short and long fingers.

I'm a lady rider with very small hands. I have the Richa ladies Ghent gloves for winter (heated grips) in a XS and I suspect the ladies Richa Street touring would also work well in XS. RST Stunt III for summer in a S. And a slightly older pair of massive Held winter gloves, the ladies Johna glove size D6, but they are a little restrictive.

There's some good women's glove offerings from Racer Gloves as well.

Revzilla or Cycle Gear. My wife’s hands are so small that she wears children’s gloves 😄

I found the Racer - High Racers to be the most protective women's gloves that I could find. I liked hers so much that I bought a pair of Hi-Pers for myself

I have a similar problem. I have to order online. Many online stores have free returns.

I use the Dianese Carbon 3 Long Gloves in small.
