Huh, interesting. I was told specifically by unicycle.com that Large was the largest size they were made in, no XL available.

i’ve been using them for two years now man. get them, they’re great =D
Talk about a blast from the past! Over 5.5 years between those last two posts.
I was using KH gloves then and still am…
I tried the KH gloves on when I bought my Nimbus but nearly tore them 'cause they’re really small. I think I tried on a size ‘large’.
I went with Hillbilly’s instead and simply love them. Warm but not hot and comfortable to wear for long periods. I haven’t hurt myself while wearing them in nearly 2 years of riding.
I’ve got a pair and I really like them. That said they really did not hold up that well. They are being held together by a whole lot of tape right now. For the price I thought they would have lasted longer.
I have a pair of the grey ones. They were a bit too small so I cut the fingers off and they work fine as fingerless wrist/plam guards. great for 36ering etc but I would like to get another pair (one size bigger) with the fingers for MUni.

I got a pair this summer and I really like them for Muni. They are really comfy and the gel in the hand is great when you fall on rocks:) I dont ride them in Trials, street or flatland because it makes my hands less flexible, but for Muni, they’re awesome.
I have been useing Kris’s gloves form years and love them 
It’s just a pain having to order from overseas

No.
The KH gloves are a very soft splint on a supple long finger glove, I’d say they’re okay for some wrist support, but any of my major falls would have been bad if I wore anything less than a skate styled splint.
I mostly wear the Hillbilly long and short fingered gloves with hard nylon wrist splints that have a palm “slider”. These work great, but it appears they have gone the way of Harbinger.
My most recent find was a half glove from Triple Eight, call Hired Hands. They’re a bit thicker and hotter than the Hillbilly, so I did some creative destruturing, removing the back splint and leather holder, so they are a bit easier to tolerate and still good enough for big falls.
Wait, I just checked and YES! the Hillbilly is back in town, now available in black, short and long finger, only at MBS!! https://www.hillbillyprotection.com/
I called up MBS and they are the official distributor for Hillbilly protective gear
