Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for. I'll send my order today.

An old WO5 once told me the differnece between wearing Nomex and not is an open vs a closed casket. He can keep the casket, I just have a problem with burning.

Thanks again,

Steve

I bought a pair of the hatch nomex gloves a few years ago and the thumb is waaaay to long compared to the other fingers. Anyone else have this problem? It's really odd to have an extra 3/4" of glove hanging off your thumb while the other fingers are perfectly tight.

Default glove sizing

Vince,

Can you tell me how to properly measure my hands to pick to right glove size?

Measure around your hand at the knuckles. Size is in inches.
