I remember some latex gloves tighter, but not too short... But no one declares it explicitly.
That might be true.

It is true. Because women’s hands are generally narrower than men’s, but also have longer and narrower fingers, women’s gloves are cut longer and slimmer than men’s. That’s why a a women’s size 8 glove corresponds to a size “large,” but a size 8 in men’s gloves is a small. But you’ll also see differences between men’s and women’s gloves across equal numerical sizes. If you put a (quality) men’s glove next to a similar (quality) women’s glove in size 8, the woman’s glove is going to have significantly longer and tighter fingers.

Another difference is that men’s gloves are usually cut to accommodate men’s relatively short index fingers and relatively long fourth (“ring”) fingers. Women’s index fingers tend to be as long or longer than their fourth fingers.

Glovegeek, all you said is right for dressing gloves, but very hardly I saw latex gloves clearly declared as tailored for female hands.

I haven’t never tried yet surgical gloves (need to try someday :rolleyes: ), I think then I will need a size 6.0 or 6.5 maybe.
I also wear size S exam gloves if I want a tight fit, then surgical gloves size 7 should be right for you. You could also try size 6.5 if exam gloves size S are right for you but not very tight. Consider also that some gloves could be a bit smaller or, instead, you could use gloves half a size smaller because they are very thin and elastic.

Wow, you have quite big hands then.
Leather glove size to me is usually 7.5.
Some leather gloves still need to be size 8.0. It depends what kind glove is it. Usually I choose tighest I can because leather allways strech in use little bit.
late reply ;)
yes my arms and fingers are big,since im a hard working guy :)
also i'm a bit tall (just a bit..186cm)

but as i said,my sizes goes from large to xl in most,and onesize fits too if its quality.
i also prefer xl cause i like the gloves to be bit loose when wearing...tight isnt fun imho.
