Does this glove cover the knuckles? I'm looking for 3/4 finger cover. Are these good for women also or should I get a women's pair instead?

They do cover your knuckles. It's important to use wraps with them if you're hitting a bag. They are great for both sexes. I've used mine in my Muay Thai class. The rest of the class bought them as well after trying them. The instructor (female) actually used them as well and rated them as her favorites

Comment of Wheezer's glove size table: Since the seller doesn't indicate whether these are gloves for men or for women, your measurement table for glove sizes is useless for this product.

They do fit both men and women. If you have long fingers however they will fit a little shorter on you.

If your hands are smaller then size small, I recommend just wraps you can wrap your hands with a silicone knuckle cover if you need added protection.

I have smallish hands, i fit snugly into a medium, but can fit amazingly in a small. I understand where you are coming from =] The gloves should fit just fine because they're supposed to be oversize to ensure that they protect you. I would definitely pick up the medium.

If there is a size chart I am not aware of it. I ordered a women's they are a tiny bit snug so if you have large hands you might want a men's. I don't know what the measurement is around my hand but from my wrist to the tip of my fingers is 7". Sorry I only have a ruler handy. Other than that I LOVE the gloves--very warm.

These are not normal glove size conventions. They definitely run large, but that's a good thing. I purchased a medium. I am a woman with average sized hands and they fit big, but that works and does not limited their function. My husband can also comfortably wear them, and he has average sized hands for a man. They run large but don't worry if they're too big.... They'll still keep your hands from being burnt.

My wife wears a women's XS to S glove. She's 5' tall. She really likes the product and has no problem with the fit and ability to use the mitts. Obviously, with a one size fits all product, your fingers won't reach the end of the mitt but you aren't trying to pick up coins and the aim isn't to have delicate dexterity - just enough to be able to grab and handle baking sheets, pots and pans. I have short fingers and feel confident using the mitts.

The gloves are unisex...you need to go onto Outdoor Research's web page and use the sizing chart they offer...once you measure what they tell you, check the sizing chart and your fit will be perfect...if you've ever burned your hands while out 'n about, these will save you from repeating that...I now have 3 pairs...I always carry one spare pair for the "what~if's"...they are so comfortable that I forget I have them on after my hike...use OR's web sizing chart...

That's a good question. My husband bought these for me. I usually wear about a medium (5'7" unremarkable hand size) and in many women's gloves that translates to a 7, so that's what he bought me and they fit very well. Good luck!

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.

There is no real difference between Women and Men gloves, just size (weight) and color. These gloves should work well for you, but you may want to pick a lighter weight. They have a strong chemical odor which was too much for me.

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'd say they're unisex. I am a woman, but have sort of larger hands (middle finger is 4" and have biggish palms) and they work great for me. I think if you have smaller hands, then they'd still be fine but the fingerless bit could maybe cover more of your fingers than you like, maybe?

I wear them as a woman with no problem. I do have on the larger size of hands however. I wear a 8 1/2 glove size

hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing... » Read More hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi « Show Less

I can't answer your specific question, but here's what I found: My hand measures 8 3/4 inches around the knuckles and I ordered the Large Size. They were too large, so measure your hands around the knuckles, and unless they are perhaps 9 inches or more, order the Small. Don't you wish glove manufacturers would give some specific size recommendations using actual measurements? After all, sizes such as Large, Small, Medium mean nothing at all.
