Track Gloves: shorter Fingers —Recommendations?

[Laszlo]

Howdy all!
I have a pair of Alpinestars GP Pros and the fingers are long. Was able to shrink the leather a little so they fit well now but for this upcoming season would prefer something more out of the box. Any recommendations on a track worthy glove for shorter fingers? Alpinestars and some Rev’Its are about a 1cm too long (while then some other street based Rev’It gloves fit well; Rev’It Métis 2’s fit perfect but is not really as good as the Alpinestars for track use in my opinion: )

Thanks!

I always have the short finger problem. These have been my favorite fitting gloves. I normally buy gloves on the small side and let them break in to avoid very long fingers. If you are needing to shrink your gloves, they are probably too big. Cow leather will stretch a lot; kangaroo not so much.

Yes I have a custom pair. I highly recommend them.
I have wide palms and stubby fingers. Every off the rack glove the fingers are too long.
Custom fit is the only way to go for me.

If you don't want new gloves https://www.sagetailoring.com and Lizzy Leather do alterations too. I've had work done on my suits and gloves by Sage and he does great work. Typically he's at Pittrace and does on site fixes. He pit a full zipper in my suit and patched it about 4 hours, so altering glove should be a quick process

Held also makes gloves with shorter fingers.

The sizes that start with a "K" are shorter fingers I believe.

That makes sense. Held is a German company and 'short' in German is 'kurz'. Hence the K.
