Just bought online my son a pair of LEKI Wcr C-Tech 3D Junior race mitts in size 4. Unfortunately, they turn out to be too big and even more unfortunately it doesn't look like LEKI make any race gloves in a smaller (size 3) size. The circumference of his hand, as near as I can measure it, is 14cm (5.5 inches). Length is 11cm (4.3 inches). I guess he must just have short fingers.
LEKI doesn't seem to actually give measurements for their kids gloves, just age groups. And size 4 is supposed to be for an 8-9 year old, which he is.
Reusch seem to stop at size 3.5, but their website only shows size 4 as smallest.

The size chart on the Level website seem to indicate that for this size hand, the correct size is 5.5! Level is a bit "over designed" too.
He has previously been wearing a pair of Black Diamons Spark gloves. Size unknown as it's worn off the label, but I'm pretty sure it would have been S. They're a bit of a snug fit now, and well racing kids want racing gloves.

Anyone have some suggestions or good options? We have LEKI poles, so the linking of gloves and poles with the manufacturer's system (no wrist band requied) was convenient.
