The best thing I found years ago was a glove with a built in wiper blade on the thumb.
Have not managed to find a glove with one since.
I hate the ones you fit over the glove as they restrict the flexibility of the thumb.

Rukka Apollo Gloves have one built into the left thumb

Very nice, stupidly expensive and don't even come close to my glove size (XXXXL).

Oh I don't doubt either of you.
I've found a pair in Germany in 13/4XL or 14/5XL but I will want to try them on before paying nearly £140 with delivery.
The palm measurement method doesn't work for me as I have a 25cm/10" palm circumference which would normally be an XL glove, but I have extremely long fingers which dictate getting large 3XLs or 4XLs. In fact the only part of me that I can buy a normal sized item for,.... is my head. Helmet size Medium 57/58.
So, any ideas where I can try on a pair of 3XL, 4XL and 5XLs?  :mfr_lol:

Yep,

Harpers Race Shop, London Road, Leigh on Sea, are Revit suppliers, one of the main ones in the UK I believe. They will probably be able to get the size you need, to try them, give them a call on 01702 482016. I've used them many times and have always been very pleased with their service,

Will do. Ahhhh, right next to Machine Mart.
A pair of these may have to be a Birthday Pressie to myself.  :innocent:

Boomer, have you tried JTS (www.jtsbikerclothing.com)? I know you buy your boots from them and they advertise gloves up to 4XL.
Better to be old and grey than the alternative!

And my jacket, trousers, summer & winter gloves (lobster-claws).
I can get 4XL gloves without too much difficulty but finding one with the built in visor wipe is the hard part.
My current summer gloves came from JTS and are the previous model to their 212.
They are at least 6 years old, have faded from black to grey, but are the comfiest gloves I have ever owned.
Paid £20 for them at the 2007 NEC Motorcycle show.
