Is it a problem that the gloves are only 3/4? Don't your fingertips get sunburned?

I don't use the gloves for sunburn protection but for protection from a sun allergy that affects that backs of my hands. That being said, I have not experienced any sunburn on the tips of my fingers while wearing the gloves.

I use sunscreen on my hands (and face) prior to putting on the gloves. Even with prolonged sun exposure (6+ hours a day) I haven't noticed any coloration difference with my fingertips.

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

I have used them with a touchscreen phone, but that isn't their intended use, and so it's kind of hit-or-miss. I wouldn't buy them expecting to use them for a touchscreen, when there are other gloves designed for that purpose that work very well, every time.

I wondered about that, too! However, the gloves are really longer than they appear: about 3-1/2" to 4" long in the cuff. They cover just the right amount. For example, when I use the gloves to open a boiling pot, the steam has no effect on me. They are truly just long enough. I have put my hands into the oven to take out a dish without pulling out the oven tray and had no ill effects. I've used them grilling and experienced absolutely no discomfort when cooking. These gloves wash up wonderfully, and I use them every single time I cook, every single day. You will appreciate having two pair. I honestly cannot find one bad thing to say about these gloves.

They're quite comfortable. As for long fingers, I have 3-4 inch fingers, and the small/medium size works well for me. You will likely want to get the medium/large size.

If sizing is the concern; my hand is 8" x 4" and I ordered and use a size 10 XL. Perfect fit not too tight nor loose. I get my gloves wet 99.999% of the time and then they fit just perfect. I'm getting my money worth since mine are utilized for sun protection, paddling (great rubber grips) and fish gloves. I put them on prior to hitting the water and they don't come off till ready to drive home. Like any other product of this material only wash but ensure not to put them in the dryer. I am very happy with mine and will have them on for another 8 hours tomorrow. If u have small hands, get the smaller ones and so on..cheers If sizing is the concern; my hand is 8" x 4" and I ordered and use a size 10 XL. Perfect fit not too tight nor loose.

I have the same problem and find that fingerless gloves work better. Yes, fingertips can get cold, but they warm faster than whole hands.

In my case, they only "go up past my wrist" just under 1 inch. Otherwise, these gloves are a good general fit for my hands.

Seems to work fine with small gaps between glove fingers. Mine is mostly hidden behind fingers.

You need to go onto Outdoor Research's own web site and use their measuring instructions...I did and even tho 5'11" I only needed small size gloves...you'll need a tape measure and once you do, you'll get the right size...these gloves are GREAT and I just wore them again for desert hiking..no more sunburn...

not well. they are tight on my index finger to the point it starts to ache. the rest are all ok. they stop 2-3 inches past the wrist. well worth the money despite the discomfort.

They are similar to fingerless gloves at the hand. However, the holes are not the standard 4 finger and thumb you would expect from gloves. The index finger and thumb have individual holes, but the rest of the fingers all share the same hole. I can't imagine why you'd need mitts with these, but if you do make sure this won't be an issue.

They are probably thinner than what you are looking for. They aren't as thick as some cotton gloves that would keep your hands warm that I had when I was younger.

My gloves go up 6 inches from my wrist. I have found them to be long enough. Terri

I'm not very scientific on this. I just buy the largest glove I can get. If it is too large I can set it on the dash in the sun for an hour and shrink it.

My guess, from limited purchasing experience, is that they are about the size they should be. Large size gloves that I previously purchased (different brand) we're a bit small. With that in mind, I ordered XXLarge, which were a little big. I expect the XLarge will be just right, which is conducive with the size of my hands. Again, that's just my experience. BTW they are excellent gloves; they outwear any I've previously used, and have been resistant to the chemicals I've used thus far.
