How is the finger and thumb length? Come up Long, there is space at the finger tips

“In in Australia. I had previously bought the Southery glove which was a Large. I love it by the way, but it took two goes to get the correct fit as the size guide indicated I should buy a Medium, but they were too small and I had to go up a size to a Large. So when I ordered it, I thought that the Large size would be the correct fit. Wrong! It was so small that I couldn't get it to fit over the palm of my hand. So I went for the next size up, which cost me AUD30 in shipping. The XL is a tight fit over my palm and now the fingers are a little long. I could try the XXL, but it's another AUD30 and no guarantee they'll be a better fit. I was planning on using them as over gloves for a pair of heated inner gloves when skiing. That's not happening. I'll be buying something else. Instead, I'll use them when I'm going out in the winter. The thing is, I love Sealskinz gear. I have a waterproof cap that I bought that I love to bits and wear everywhere. The Southery gloves are great and I've used them skiing for two seasons and they show little sign of wear - and I'm a hard-wearing sort of guy. So you can imagine just how thoroughly disappointed I am. The quality of materials and the finish is good. But the sizing of their gloves is erratic at best. And it costs me money to exchange them, which I now have to factor in when I purchase them.”

Hi Rick, I’m really sorry to hear about the sizing issues you’ve experienced with the gloves and the extra shipping costs. That doesn’t meet what you’d expect from Sealskinz, and I understand your frustration. If you’d like to discuss this further, please contact our support team. Kind regards, Team Sealskinz Ltd

How is the finger and thumb length? Just Right, Fit Perfect

“Really comfortable, nice flexibility. Worn over merino liner to Iceland. No probs. Wish the cuff went a little longer over wrist. L was too small even without liner, had to XL. And I'm only 5'10" with what I think are avg sized hands”

Hi Douglas, Thanks for the 4-star review. Sorry to hear the L was too small and that the cuff could be longer. If you’d like, we can check sizing options or suggest tweaks to get you a better fit for next time. Kind regards, Team Sealskinz

“Drayton XL gloves are small. XL is supposed to be big. They are too tight. I buy XL gloves usually. I should have ordered XXL if they exist.”

“I ordered these dec 10 it's is now Jan 9 and I have not received them. The tracker says order fulfilled. I reached out a few days ago and heard from AI but still no person. Not happy they were supposed to be a Christmas gift. Careful when ordering online!”
