Can women use these gloves? The description says "designed for men" but I'm wondering what the difference would be if there is a women's version.

I think the only fact to consider is the size, sizing chart is done considering men´s hands size, if some size fits your hand I don´t see why women cant use them

Yes, but if you do make sure to measure and get the correct size. Should be a little tight at first.

I'm a woman and I bought a pair for myself. It runs big and I should have size down but I still love mine. Does the job!

I see no reason why a woman can't use these gloves. Just match with the appropriate fit... they support my wrists really well.

I dont see why not. I do have one complaint about these gloves though. The straps for the wrist support are of the non stretch material. I feel better support would be there if it was able to snug up against the entire wrist, rather than the widest part of the wrist.

I believe that the size of the wrist and fingers part would be a little too big for women

I'm not sure about Men's sizes. I am a petite female and bought a size small. I LOVE the gloves! I live in New England and can't believe how warm they are for the thinness and they do have a bit of stretch to them; they are are soft and easy to maneuver with (I have a horse barn so that is important). And most importantly - they actually ARE waterproof!! I found this site that may be helpful for sizing: http://hanzusa.com/products/waterproof/gloves/gloves/sizes.html :)

Alicia, as the previous answers allude they are cut for men, but having said that, that does not mean that women can not wear them. I know several very fit women who have purchased them because they like the cut better. BOA does make women's shorts. You can contact them about the differences in cut...not much I'm told. Good luck and enjoy the run.

I'm a man but.I would think a woman would use them too. They are not a fashion statement but they are very effective and cannot beat the price a real value.

Hello KZB and thank you for your inquiry. We have a larger glove launching June 1 for XL and XXL hands. The Medium-Large sizing posted currently will fit women's hands and men's up to a Large and slightly XL... the gloves should fit loosely..the glove should not fit skin tight.

Didn't find one, but ordered the large in men's and it fit a women's large in my case. They seem to run small. The men's large didn't fit my husband's large hand but did mine. Hope that answers your question.

From doing a Google search for "glove sizes", it doesn't have any relationship to normal glove size conventions (http://www.walkabout.com/shop/size_glove.asp). We bought the large and they're very snug when I put them on (according to the chart, I should fit a Medium). My wife's hands are smaller than mine and she says I've stretched them so that now they're loose on her (we bought them 5-31-11). Her suggestion is for men to buy the Large and women to buy the Medium.

I can understand the lady version might not work, but, the men's version is a little bit longer.I think it is worth a try.I am a big guy, it works perfect for me.

Yes! I used it today. They do make a women's version, too. In fact, the handle is interchangeable between the men's and women's versions. I am a fan!

I bought them in size s/m, my fingers are average and fit well, perhaps a different size would work better for you. In regards to your comfort question, yes, they are quite comfortable! , considering off course that they are made of special fibers, not the lightest or the softest but they work much bettee than other gloves with touch-screen features

I had thought these gloves were actually sized for men, so ordered medium for a woman who wears size 7. She has not worn them yet. So do not know if they will be suitable for her hands.

I have average sized man hands and they fit very comfortable for me and think they would be OK with larger hands as well. I cook a lot and use them often and never feel like they are too small.

Since the gloves are 'unisex', I would suggest you go with 'medium'. I have large hands with long fingers and take a women's large, but a men's medium. At first, they may seem tight, but recognize that your fingers are probably swollen, so as you continue to wear them longer and longer, the swelling will go down, and the gloves will feel like they've loosened up. That's what happened to me.

Can't say for sure - for women they work great; however, there is nothing to my knowledge that would preclude a man from wearing them. With Amazon, you can almost always return an item that doesn't work out!

I have women medium hands. They were snug on me at first. After a bit they fit well but not loosely. I know they fit men's hands as well. It seems that they start snug on everyone and then adjust to the wearer's hand size. I love these gloves as they cover my wrists and go halfway up my forearms. There will be no lower arm burns with these! Also, they are flexible.

I would have to say they are men's sized. My hand is 7.5in from bottom of palm to tip of middle finger & have 2 pairs of these in XL that fit very comfortably.I wear them mostly for all day (8+ hrs) motorcycle riding.I bought both large and XL first to check sizing & returned the large immediately. I believe they have a sizing chart on Outdoor Research website.Hope this helps.....

Giro lists them as mens' gloves on their homepage. Anyway, Giro has very accurate sizing guides with inch/centimeter specifications for both genders. So, you should be able to figure out whether any of the mens' sizes will fit your hands (I hope the links are not deleted by Amazon...): http://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/men_glove_fitguide.pdfhttp://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/women_glove_fitguide.pdfTheir guides were very accurate in my experience.Btw: I really like these gloves.
