Ah it drives you mad doesn’t it! I really like the look of The Racer gloves but a lot of them are sent from EU so don’t want to go through the faff of probably having to return them
Have you tried the Triumph gloves? The XS or S fit me depending upon which ones i go for. That’s a 7 and an 8 respectively per a chart I found on-line. The Union flag ones I have in black from the World of Triumph or a Triumph store here in the US. The Union Jack mesh/leather are ones I’m about to try between the two sizes for summer time gloves. They both have good touch screen connectivity where as many of their other gloves are horrible with it like the Ravens for instance. It’s been hard to find such small gloves on the net, especially Triumph gloves, but they finally JUST came into stock! :)
It certainly is a case of just stumbling across them. In the past I had seen some Triumph gloves and liked them, but never when I actually needed some! In the end I went to an urban rider shop in London just by chance and found a different pair of Goldtop cafe racer gloves that fitted much better, despite being the same brand and size as a different model. No touch screen but I’ve never had much luck with them to be honest.
I hear your struggle Bren, I have these in the Sand, I love them as they age beautifully but I had to size down from a medium predator to a small in the mens - my wife has them in the racing green and loves them too. The hard thing to size properly is the finger length rather than the fist size, I have long thin fingers but you get a good stretch in the finger length with the top quality Goldtop leather and it is defo best to get them fitting snug as they do stretch out a bit.
Thanks for the kind comments. The green looks super doesn’t it! I did get the cafe racer in the sand in the end and they fit just right! They are a great brand
On Friday I got the Goldtop cafe racer small gloves. I haven’t done a video review yet but there is a short 1 min video on my pint sized biker Instagram
I have exactly the same problem mate, mend breadth of palm but wee short fingers. Thanks for the video.

I also have dainty hands and buying gloves is a real pain, especially as I can't really try on any of the gloves I like before buying.
It can be a pain. I also talk myself out of some gloves thinking they are too big when probably fine when out on the bike
