Do you wear your gloves tight or loose? I have a pair of Pearl izumi and Izumi Gel, They are both size S. One is loose and one is tight. I am wondering which is better?

Loose. In fact I wear the cheap leather gloves with no gel. I also cut the velcro straps off.

"Loose" and "tight" are relative. I like my gloves, Trek Moby Gels, snug. I had a pair of Speclialized gloves that were loose and, to me, they felt uncomfortable.

I'll second on the snug fit. I had a pair too loose and they really bugged me, especially when they got wet.

With big hands, I seem to have little choice. I wear the largest I can get, and they go on OK, but by the end of the ride I can barely get them off. So, I have gloves with little holes where I pull to get them off. What makes it harder is that I need gloves with very little gel/padding, so my choices are quite limited, as just about all manufacturers seem to take pride in how much gel they can stuff into their gloves!
