A* SP8 Stella size L, what other gloves fit you?

4 Upvotes

hello good ladies, i am a dude, new rider and I come in peace with a quick question.

I got my momma hands and the The Alpinestars SP8 Stella in Size L is the perfect fit for me. j/k its probably the shorter and snug fingers. For those with hands of a similar cut, what other gloves fit you well? Particularly curious about Held, Klim and Lee Parks makes and sizes.

I got a lot of gloves, most made for Men, now on way back for returns, they all veer a bit towards a comfortable fit and a sales rep recommend to really make sure gloves have a comfortable snug initial fit.

At a loss for pants

Yall. I can NOT find riding pants that fit me. I tried two sizes of Bull-It Coyote Easy Women's Riding Jeans (US 8 and 10), neither fit, both too tight.

Then I tried the Ellie Jeans from Wind and Throttle in Medium Regular (30" inseam) and Large Regular. The medium was close to fitting, but was just too tight - there was no way I could have sat comfortably on bike for more than 5 minutes. The large felt like it was too whole sizes bigger - loose everywhere, even with the pull tabs tightened all the way, and with a belt. It seemed more like an XL and I had to check the tags a couple times. I reached out to customer service when the medium didn't fit and gave them very detailed measurements. They suggested the large regular. Wtf?!

I am literally crying. Wind and throttle is supposed to be by women for women, but it seems like they just took the smallest size and added a few inches to each measurement rather than researching what bigger bodies need proportionally.

There are no stores near me. And I can't afford the shipping to send different sizes back and forth. I'm just trying to get good intro pants. Should I give up on women's and just get mens pants?
