sweetcaroline 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 This might well be a silly question, but I have quite big hands for a lady - especially compared to Japanese ladies I think! - and so I was wondering will I be able to buy ski gloves over there for a lady who isn't super-petite in hand size?!

Nisoko 6 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Unless you have truly huge hands, you'll be fine. You might have less choice, but there'll be something. Link to post Share on other sites
Mini Me Tarzan 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 My mum says she doesn't think there is any difference between mens and ladies gloves, and that unless you want pink fluffy ones, you can buy mens. Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm a bloke, and I once skiied for a whole season before I realised I'd bought a pair of women's gloves. Perhaps the lack of flowers and lack of "pinkness" was a fair enough excuse. I bought a pair of Hestra's last year and they have been great for me - because they're Swedish made they come in Euro sizes, even in Japan. Gloves are definitely worth paying something extra for - nothing worse than cold hands to ruin an afternoon's skiing, I find. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 True Hestra gloves are labeled in euro sizes here in Japan too, I got my self 2 pairs too. That said, its the most confusing sizing I ve seen up to now. I got the same size but one pair fits me like a glove while the other is too small. Still I really like their quality and I think I will replace the small one with another larger pair this season. Link to post Share on other sites
foreversnow 5 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 We actually lost our luggage in transit and had to buy some gear to tied us over. We had no problem I bought some really nice ski gloves and some thermals and hubby bought gloves and a jacket. NO PROBLEMS. He did however have a little trouble buying some bindings for his size feet - but it was in March is fairly late in the season. Link to post Share on other sites

skidaisuki 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Weegeoff - no, I wear gloves on my hands. Where do you wear yours? Tubby - getting lost, nope, that's a Japanese thing, isn't it? I must admit, though, I couldn't reverse a car all that season. Bizarre... Link to post Share on other sites
