...the fit is far more important.
I cannot find a glove large enough for my hands and the few that I have been able to get my hands into have had really short fingers which prevents me bending my fingers properly.
My hands are not particularly wide (120mm ) ,or long (8.5" ) but they are quite thick through the palms so the circumference around the palm is 10.75" and finger length 3.75"
Agree on the fit. It fits, or walk away.
Just measured my hand, 120mm wide, 95mm (3.75") finger length.
Same as yours. And similar fitting challenges.
Farm/ranch supply stores out here have a large sampling of gloves, and large handed ranchers. Makes it easier to select.
I just *had* to measure the material thicknesses of a couple of my gloves.
Really like using these. Mechanics gloves.
Thin enuff to manipulate small nuts & bolts.
About 0.7mm material thickness.
My goatskin ranch gloves.
Soft, supple, form fitting, durable, rugged.
About 1.4mm material thickness.
Probably too thick for your liking.
My 45+ year old deerskin gauntlets.
Also, soft, supple, form fitting.
About 1mm material thickness.
My most favorite gloves were acquired long ago at the chainsaw department, almost $50. Very soft and supple, form fitting like a 2nd skin, the sewn seams were undetectable. Dangit, they sprouted legs 15 years ago. Might've been Stihl, or Husqvarna. One color, tiny branding. The modern offerings seem to have all sorts of flashy colorings.

Found a glove sizing chart.
I try to find gloves in XXL, sometimes XL fits...
