Ladies JR gloves?
I need some sizing assistance. I am looking at getting a pair of Joe Rocket gloves but having never worn them, I am not certain of their fit.
Do they run small, short, wide, etc? I have very narrow hands with long skinny fingers, typically I can wear a medium or large, but judging fro the sizing chart, theres no way I could wear a large. Anyone wear JR gloves? |

I have two pair of JR and love them but I hate to admit I don't know what size they are. I'll look when I get home tonight for you.

But since everyone's hand is different, the only way to know is try em on. *edit - so their medium, but I think they're mens, or UNIsex gloves since nothing on them constitutes "woman" gear. And since I barely fit mediums, this all makes more sense to me. Last edited by TYEster; 04-29-2009 at 08:53 PM.. |

I have long skinny hands(but maybe a bit bigger because,, well small hands would silly on a giant like me) and have a couple pairs of JR gloves....they are down at my parents house though so I can call my dad and ask him to look tonight. I think they are larges and they are ladies gloves. They also hold up well in a crash

I obviously can't help you as far as female sizing but in men's sizes they run with everyone else for the most part.

Thanks guys!
My grandmother said I have piano playing fingers, long and slender, but for me they = spider monkey! Gloves that tend towards wider hands and stubbier fingers are a no go... In any case, please let me know, in the meantime I just ordered these: Revzilla was good, faster shipping than other retailers, and very personable on the phone. Free shipping, price match and knowledgeable folks! |

I am pretty sure I have the JR Ballistics in a large. My hands are very similar to what you described with my fingers being almost as long as my palms. Very spider monkey. They fit my fingers great unless I let my fingernails get too long. Then the stitching rides under my nails.

I actually have a Mens GPX in medium that fits pretty well, not loose but could be just a tad tighter, the small was too tight. (these are over the wrist)
I have a shorter pair of JR Phoenix size M/L that fit perfect. I think they are women's but I'm really not positive. |

JR gloves seem to fit about average- same as Power Trip or Shift, but larger than A* and Cortech's sport gloves.
