For sizing, please read notes below, look at the chart in the photos and watch instructional video below.
Please take into account BOTH measurements. Length is measured from the tip of the middle finger to the root of the thumb (on the glove it is the top of the velcro closure flap). Width shown is the width of the material used on the palm. Since palm is three dimensional as it has thickness too, take into account some additional 0.7 – 1.5 cm depending on the size.
Glove sizing (width x length):
- 2XS, 8.5cm x 18cm
- XS, 9cm x 18.5cm
- Small, 9.5cm x 19cm
- Medium, 10cm x 19.5cm
- Large, 10.5cm x 20cm
- XL, 11cm x 20.5cm
Cleaning instructions:
- Items you will need: bucket, dish soap, two hand towels
- Rinse the glove off in cold water. You'll want to remove any dirt on the surface of the glove and get the leather thoroughly wet.
- Fill your bucket with cold water and approximately 2 tbls. of dish detergent.
- Put your hand in the water and stir it up to activate the soap and create suds.
- Place the glove in the water and swirl it around. Use your hand to agitate the soap in the water, allowing the motion to remove ground in dirt particles and sweat.
- Wash out the more hearty stains and deposits by placing the wet glove on your hand and then lightly scrubbing on the leather with a hand towel soaked in soapy water.
- Rinse the glove in clean, cold water, removing all the soap, which can dry out the leather if left on.
- Place the glove on a dry hand towel and give it a couple of hours to begin air drying.
- Place the glove back on your hand after two hours of air drying. This will help to stretch the leather, preventing it from shrinking.
- Take the glove off your hand and allow 12 hours for it to finish air drying.

Great Glove For a Great Price!I bought these gloves a little over a year ago as I began AFF in the middle of winter. They've held up wonderfully through many less than ideal landings! They show no sign of wear in spite of the way I've treated them as a new jumper. They're remarkably warm too! I've jumped in temps below 30 degrees and my hands have stayed perfectly comfortable. They haven't impeded my ability to deploy my pilot chute in the least. For the price you simply cant beat these!

Good Stuff!I don't normally leave reviews, but I had to for these gloves. Have tried a few different gloves in the past and these were the first that were actually warm enough. No problem using toggles either. A little difficult to adjust straps, but to be expected. Really glad I pick these up.

Comfortable and warmThese gloves definitely keep my hands warm enough during winter jumps, while being thin enough to feel my handles and ensuring finger dexterity. Great gloves for jumping in Wisconsin winter.

Super comfortable gloveThese gloves fit a bit larger than the sizing chart suggests: according to the size recommendations, I was definitely in the Medium range, however when I received them, all of the fingers were long as well as the wrist being large even when velcro'd closed. Great quality and comfort however, which is why I exchanged them for a size Small. The back of the hand is a stretchy material that stretches with the flexionnof your hands/digits, and the leather isn't too thick to feel the toggles.
