Here's the problem with the Aquaskinz finger guard---it only comes in one size, and hands don't.

I was gonna get one at Xmas for Sauerkraut, but figured he'd have trouble picking his nose while waiting for a fish to eat his eel.

Just cut a finger off of your wifes dishwashing gloves. Works like a champ. Better take the whole glove though when ya cut the fingers off. She will most likely notice.

John, start grinding your hands in a bucket of sand everyday, great for callouses and by summer you will be crushing walnuts in your hands. Then when you backlash our gear you won't burn your thumb.

I have the exact opposite problem--long, thin palms and long fingers. The Velcro attachment straps only reach the heel of my hand.
You should be able to get a good fit by crossing the attachment straps farther up your wrist.

Thanks Mike. I'll just have to try one on. Anyone know of a shop between 495 and Truro that has them in stock? Probably heading that way in a few weeks.
Thanks everyone for the help.
