Hey guys I got some questions for you all.
How do I know the size of my hand when picking a glove like the proto gloves?
Does the proto harness bounce at all? Ive heard great things about them.
Are fatboy tubes very durable?

The Fatboy pods are great. I've been using them for a while now, and I like them. I really like the recessed lip that they have so there's nothing for them to snag on and accidentally open.
With Gloves it's a little harder to determine sizes. I know that my Proto gloves are an XL, but then I've got big hands. Heck I ordered an extra pair recently because it came with a package I ordered and they still felt the same.

Well this may sound funny, but I just measured my hand from whrist to middle finger and its about 7", emmit would you do me a favor and measure your hand from whrist to middle finger so I can kind of get an idea of what size to get.

Usually your glove size is close to your shoe size. When you go w/ the S-M-L sizing, L is usually 8.5-10 and XL is usually 10.5-12 or so.

That'd be a good guess. If you have the jack, you could get one of each and send back the one's that don't fit.

Yeah I could do that, that would save me some time. Good idea.

Great mask, I love mine... but the morph's prices were driven down because of the release of the profiler so they may be a good choice too. Anyway - Best mask I've ever used + good customer support.... an unbeatable combo

i have a profiler and couldnt be happier with it. the lense is top quality and dont smear or fall apart when u clean it. its really breathable, and very comfortable.
the proto harnesses as well with the dye arent very comfortable imo

I would try a pair of the gloves on before I bought some.
I have pretty long fingers and overall big hands, but medium size dye gloves fit me perfectly.
I'm an 11.5 shoe size btw.
Profilers have a really nice field of view.

Ok then, I'll stick with the profiler. As for the gloves, I guess I'll go to the local shop and check some our for the time being.

Vforce Profiler is a great mask, Mine kinda broke in the mouth area, when i got shot there, so i emailed Vforce and they're sending me a new one, Also i would go to a local shop and try on a pair of gloves, then you will know for sure. Or make sure the place you are getting them from has a good return policy.

Yeah, Im going to go next week again, the funniest thing is that I tryed on the gloves and I completely forgot which size it was; I guess I got to go again.
