would the 18 inch or 17 inch be better for my draft? it asks for a size when ordering. he is 18 hands.

That's relative to the size saddle you take as a rider, not the size of your horse (and tree size is not an issue with this saddle.) You can usually get a good idea of this by measuring from the bottom of your elbow to the tip of your middle finger on the same hand, or at least that's what my old riding instructor taught me as a shortcut to fit yourself for a saddle. Best of luck!

We have both sets - the 12" and 18" - and the 18" set seems to get more use from both the kids and the adults. For under 10 yrs, the 12" might be better, but for 10 yrs and older, I would lean towards the larger set. The smaller kids can use both hands to handle the 18" set.

Having nothing else to base my decision I used my glove size. L. Although I think the xl would have worked well too. Imo I think it is better to go bigger than smaller. I would think it depends on the type of riding you do.

I purchased this for a freightliner walk through delivery truck. As 18" was exactly what I was looking for its a perfect fit. It is not resizeable . As far as getting a 17" cover I'm afraid I can't even tell you where to start looking. Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more helpful

I got a size Large for my 15 year old which has normal size hands. My husand who has small hands for an adult could also fit in the Large.

I have average size hands and I selected the Large. I don't see any advantage to a smaller size as I don't ride (I ride on the road) with a death grip on the bars anyway. I usually ride with my palms on the flat and a loose grip.I notice that the Large is all that's showing as available now anyway.

Cf. my posted review if you haven't already. I normally weak men's medium glove - clearly not large or small. I had the same glove in medium (I lost it kayaking in June) and it was okay (size-wise). But the one I purchased this year in medium was too small for my medium hand. I can get it on, but with difficulty and it is really too tight. Perhaps it will stretch with time. But if I were ordering again, I would order large for myself. Hope this gives you at least some idea. I can't say much about how it would fit a woman's hands -- but perhaps you can make a guess from my comments on how it fits my normal men's hands. Cf. my posted review if you haven't already.

Being a male with rather big hands, I purchased a large and it was loose, so I had to get a pair of thin cotton gloves, cut off the fingers, and use them as sleeves to make the fingers fit tight. And you do want a tight fit! So, if you're hands are small then I would go with the small. In any event, this is a great product and has worked well for me once I got them to fit right. Hope that helps :-)

I agree with Hoboking. 108" is not long enough for a man's hand. I had to give mine to a kid after my knuckles got torn up while using them.

I am 6 feet tall, but have slightly smaller than average hands - they fit snug. I am in a Large which are just right. Average to large hands - maybe go extra large.

I would say the 18" is probably right. The fingers are more about 5 inches.

Get the large, my son has small hand but we got the large and he said it fits just right. Hope that helps.

My hand is 9 inches and I bought a large. The material stretches so I would go with a medium if I were you. Personally, I like a slightly tighter fit.

Yes. Bought this for my dad. With his mobility not what it used to be, he is a little wider so the 18" (pretty standard size) has no "wiggle room". The extra 2 inches are great!

From what the "experts" say, 31 inch bats are suited better for the 11-12 year old players. That is considering they are average weight and height. Even if your son was a little above average for his age group I would consider something a little shorter. I think a 29" would be as long as I would go for his age. A good test would be to visit a sports store with similar weight/length bats and have him test his swing, grip, and stance. The good thing about this particular bat is that is extremely light for its size but I still think a 31" would be a bit much. Good luck

Most glove makers don't use circumference to measure hand size. They usually measure from the thumb joint to the outside of the hand. A 3.5 inch measure should be a man's medium. These liners are very stretchy so there should a lot of give in the sizing.

My hand is 7 inches, I bought a medium and while it fits, it's a tiny bit bigger than what I wanted. That being said, it's comfortable and fits snug when making a fist. That makes me think it was just the right fit.
