Everybody has different sized hands and they can vary a lot.  I bought these for my g/f and they are a little too big for her hands (I would say her hands are about average for a petite woman).

This was a big disappointment as they gloves are made very well.  I was very pleased with them looking them over and my SO said they were very comfortable and that she liked the way they looked as well.

I would definitely like to see a smaller size of these made, and then it would get 5 stars from me.  Good thing Amazon is so great about returns!
