I know I'm a little late reacting on the gloves issue but... I'm never using complete gloves, I know.. now your wondering.. as I hate those rubber things on my hands causing sweating and all I just take a scissor and cut off the parts of the glove I want to use. So I'm only using two fingers and the thumb. If you want to do the same trick, buy a pair who would be to small for normal use, they will fit much better. Rob
