Yeah...once a pair of gloves molded perfect to your hands...it feels like its your own hand, even riding bare handed feel weird. I have a pair of Teknic yellow,black and silver put up for sale for $18 shipped on the gear thread, I purchase for $35 retail $49....worn about 3 times but unable to convince myself the this glove will mold with my hand...the thumb is much longer? Maybe some buyers with long thumb can buy it...lol.

But Mattson is right, the knuckles protector area on the fingers may gets tricky

They`ve been in the closet for about four months now, just dug them out for the photos and I could literally just slide them on. Good gloves got to be broken in, the problem is you know if they are good gloves IF they do...

But to answer the original Q, If the gloves were expensive enough OR otherwise fit good it might be worth it to get them taylored, if not, I`d get different ones...

never done it, but if you do seems to me you should mark the extra length to cut off while making a fist, rather than with the fingers straight. ? what's that saying - "measure once, cut twice, buy new gloves" ?

the Kangaroo palm gives you a great feel, down side is it get dirty easy. 1 or two rides, you cannot resell "like new condition" mine only use for no more than 5 rides.

Still trying to figure out how to clean these Icon Pursuits. After 1/2 season of use...

My mechanix gloves are cleaner I think.
