FS: Endura Singletrack trousers (S), BBB Aquashield gloves (M)

doozerie

I'm selling a pair of Endura Singletrack trousers, size small. I've worn these for two weeks of commuting (22km per day) but they show no signs of wear. Asking 40euro.

I'm selling them because of their sizing. Endura seem to have an odd idea of sizing. By anyone's definition I'm a small but these trousers are a little too short in the leg. If it is any use I'm at most a 31" leg in regular non-cycling trousers - these Endura trousers need to be up to an inch longer to fit me well so unless you are maybe a 30" leg or you don't mind a slightly shorter trouser leg then you'll probably find them too short. If it weren't for the sizing I'd keep them.

I also have a pair of BBB Aquashield gloves, size medium. They felt snug when I first tried them on but one short commute verified that they were too small. So I've worn them once (washed them since). Asking 20euro.

For those that have not tried these particular gloves on and are unsure of the sizing, for reference my hand measurements put me very close to the upper limit for the medium size but I really needed the large so they may size on the small side.

Sorry, I'm holding out for 20euro on the gloves. I live in Dublin 16, but I work in the city centre (Dublin 1) so I can meet in or around either location.

Will offer asking price for the gloves provided they fit. Can't find a sizing chart anywhere for BBB gloves but I'm a medium in my Endura mitts, suspect I'll be a large in the BBB Aquashields though so don't want to waste your time. How did you know the medium were too small for you after one commute.
I live in Dublin 8 and work in Dublin 1 also.

@Dr_Colossus: When I first tried the gloves, it felt like my fingertips were pushing against the tips of the glove. It wasn't uncomfortable, just snug. Putting my hands on the handlebars though forced my fingers further into the fingers of the glove so they felt a bit cramped - I should really have decided there and then that the gloves were too small but I decided to give them a go regardless. During my commute on that fairly cold morning the tips of my fingers got cold pretty quickly and the tight fit contributed to this I believe.

So in my case it was the length of the fingers that proved the problem as otherwise the fit of the gloves was quite comfortable. I reckon I've got fingers of about average length though so I suspect BBB's sizing might be off. With the same gloves in a large size, the palm is a little looser fitting than I'd like though still fine, but I have a bit of space at the fingertips which is what I was looking for. I'll PM you to arrange meeting up if you are still interested in trying them on.

Cool thanks, I'd be interested in trying them alright. I've read alot of good reviews on these gloves but just haven't seen them in the flesh yet to try on for size.

Any interest in the Endura Singletrack trousers? 35euro is a good price, but I am open to reasonable offers.
