I generally agree, rocket. Thing is, while I guess I'd say I had a good, even great, experience, and I am happy to see they were attentive with the 'other' customers (members here) ...huge-important in my book... thing is... I now have two pair of gloves that "almost fit right"... meaning I cannot wear 'em.
I never buy gloves online, but I have been buying mech gloves for some years now, so I figured, what-the-hell, this deal is enticing, and they always fit right when i buy 'em at the auto store, so "no-brainer", right?
But I have two pair of gloves now that are ...1 pair is tight and the other slightly over sized. So what I got is "gifts" for someone else cause I really cannot wear them.
Don't think I will buy gloves online again. Just gotta have 'em fit "like a glove" or I won't put 'em on.
UPDATE (Jan 11, 2015):
I finally had some days working in the shop to try to break in those 'original touch' gloves that I said were slightly too small, and I gotta say that they have broken in a bit, and the fit is actually feeling fairly right to me for working. I mean, I ended up keeping them on -to an advantage- while handling a lot of tools, never feeling the need to take them off, so that's gotta say something.
The thing that's strange to me is the arch from the thumb to the index finger seems too small because when I open my hand up the material pulls away from the arch there (and tightens the fit); however, in use this actually provides an advantage for helping me keep my index finger fully fitted into its sleeve, and all in all I have good fingertip 'dexterity' (if you will) for handling tiny bits, string, rope, whatever.
The gloves fit very snug, and all the way down to the finger joints, and all in all allow me to work with 'em on continually - which is what I want. If I got a larger size those would actually not fit.
So I am changing my tune ...I am pretty happy with these gloves, and can say the sizing is actually fairly accurate.
========
As for the other gloves, I picked up some "fleece utility" gloves, mainly for driving comfort, and the size technically fits, but they just seem a little baggy. Perhaps that's intended to allow more air for keeping in heat, I don't know. I can tell you that if I bought a size smaller I know those wouldn't fit.
So I just wanted to redact my negative comments after having spent some time with these. Not a bad purchase for me at all.
Cheers,
HTH
