In der Innenhand ist ein ganz leichtes Polster, nicht klobig, nicht dick. Zur Größe: Ich habe S bestellt. Ich habe sonst so etwa 7,5 manchmal auch 7. Die Handschuhe sind schmal und mit langen Fingern geschnitten. Laut Tabelle hätte S eher zu groß sein müssen. oliv blau und purple sind mittlerweile hier. Wenn ich mal gute Handschuhe zu einem guten Kurs finde, kaufe ich gern gleich mehrere.
