Tight gloves

[mattress]

I just bought a pair of Large (biggest size) pair of Alpinestars
Storm Rider Goretex Gloves in readiness for the winter. The gloves are very nice and well made but they're a tad tight. Yes, I understand that they will give a little and mould themselves around my hand over the next couple of weeks but is there any way of speeding up this process??

Are there any leather conditioners or similar products available that will help? Or, does the immersion into a bucket of warm water still the best method?

A weeks worth of normal riding is all it took to bed mine in. Felt like they were cutting off the circulation in some of my fingers prior to that.

Put them in the freezer for 24 hours then wear them

Large isn't the biggest size Alpine star make, they go up to XXL.

I find alpinestar are short in the thumbs, Rstar fit me better with the thumbs. I wouldn't buy gloves that were tight for winter as it is te warm air around the hand that needs to stay warm.

Sizes are all to cock nowadays - I think its because everything is made in oriental sizes - and oriental 'large' hand is smaller than a caucasian 'large'...
