These are the best gloves I have found that fit my small hands. My hand, from the top of my middle finger to my wrist, is just over 6" long, my middle finger is 2.5" long, and my palm is 3" across. The gloves are comfortable, fit well, and break in quickly. My first pair, which I used exclusively for carrying cardboard banana boxes, lasted 10 months before getting a hole in the seam of a couple fingertips. To be expected, although I'd gladly spend more for a longer lasting version. I've got another pair that I use for raking, hoeing, pulling up wooden stakes, etc. Dovetail, I would be interested in a waterproof glove!
