Victorinox Cutlery PerformanceShield Cut Resistant Glove, Extra Large

This glove does not fit the normal XL hand. The fingers are extra long and skinny. So when you put it on, there is extra materials flapping at the end of every fingure.

I like my mandoline. I do not like the little food holder that came with it.

First thing I did when I got it was trash it, and then buy a pair of these gloves. (Which were actually a replacement pair.)

Most importantly, they do protect your fingers when mandolining. And they withstand errant knife movements. I still have 100% of each of my fingers.

But whoever sizes these things needs to rethink their categories. Particularly with regard to the fingers. The bulk of the glove fits fine, but the fingers are too long and too tight. Does no-one other than me have big fingers? Or are we expected to have sliced bits off the side of our fingers before realizing we should be using these gloves? And once they're on, the ends of the fingers flap about, getting caught on the mandoline blade. (The fingers are about quarter of an inch too long.)

This is the second pair of cut-resistant gloves I've owned, and the second pair that didn't fit as well as they should have, so it's a problem endemic to CR gloves, not this brand in particular. But they're functional, and isn't that what matters most?
