I've been using Alpinestar Aero gloves for a long time and found them to have the longest finger lengths of any gloves I've tried in their 3XL size. My many pairs are starting to wear out and need a new pair. They no longer carry the Aero but I see they have the Alderex in 3XL but can't find a pair in stock. Its been probably 5 years since I tried any other gloves so don't remember what didn't work. What other gloves do your long clyde salad fingers fit in?

I got into dirt bikes a couple of years ago. Most of my dirt bike gear is from Fox (supporting local shop, but the stuff does fit me well). I swear the glove jumped off my hand and slapped me in the face when I tried a pair on thinking "why aren't cycling gloves like this?!?!?!!"
Maybe check your local MX shop.
Tall here, not so much clyde, but still ...

I find that most mx gloves work better than any cycling gloves that I've tried.

I'm a 2XL glove guy, and I have better luck buying work gloves and such for MTBing. I haven't seen those same gloves in 3XL though - but I wasn't looking.

These guys ^^^. Check their 'deals' section for non-current gloves (as well as other items) at better-than-regular prices.
I'm tall with long fingers, typically wear a 2x glove. But before ordering gloves from Klim, I actually measured my hand -- according to their glove sizing chart, I should wear their size large.
I didn't believe 'large' would work but ordered a couple pair of size large anyway, thinking, "Large? No way. When the large gloves arrive, I'll try them on, find them too small and exchange them for XLs or 2XLs."
Nope.
Klim size large gloves fit my long-fingered hands, um, like a glove.
This is a huge departure from every other (mountain bike specific) glove I've ever used.
Excellent quality construction, too. I not only wear Klim gloves, I've got other apparel by Klim, too -- moto pants, jersey, socks, even one of their casual shirts. Klim's stuff is of the highest order when it comes to materials & construction.

Tasco gloves for the win. I have ginormous hands, and their XXL fit perfectly. They also have XXXL for those with freakishly large hands. I should add that I've yet to wear a pair out.

Agreed! Tascos are good and so are Hand Ups. In fact, they seem quite similar to me — I’ve had good luck with both. FWIW I prefer gloves with zero padding.

I'm a 2XL rider myself. If I cannot find the right size/style of glove, I just hit up my local moto shop and buy MX gloves.

I’ve been able to palm a basketball since I was 17.
I like Troy Lee XXL. They fit my hands well. I’ve tried both Tasco and hand up XXL but they are both smaller than Troy Lee XXL.
I do wish that TLD would do a 3XL though. Just a tad more room would be nice.
I have never seen a 3XL MTB glove but I’ve seen the Mechanic brand gloves in 3XL and I would rock those in their light weight version if it came down to it. https://www.mechanix.com/us-en/all...loves/MG.html?dwvar_MG_color=black&dwvar_MG_size=xxx-large&cgid=all-gloves-main

My problem is I have wide bear-paw hands. I rip L gloves fairly quickly and XL or bigger leaves me with fingers that have loose material at the ends. I can usually get these to "stretch" more...but stretching those back also wrecks them.
Giro DND glove comes in XXXL in two colors (black and matte black! ha)
No padding but I’ve had a couple pairs. Pretty good And are durable. You can also find them on Amazon.

O'Neal mx gloves are the only gloves I've ever found with long enough fingers in the 5xl.
