Handguard sizing help

[sarahghost]

Hi there, I've recently started gymnastics again after a few years off due to illness and still have a pair of pretty much new handguards but I'm struggling to tell whether they are fitting right. They are full length reisport ones with dowel, they fit to get on but I can't fully straighten my hands. I used the size guide online to measure and I'm bang on the end of the size 2 (which I have). I'm not sure if it's worth getting the next size up or whether I need to just break them in a bit.
I will ask my coach at my next session as obviously he will be able to see them on my hands, but thought I would ask here first Thanks it advance!

First of all...do what your coach says.

Normally, if you are in between two sizes, you would order the smaller size. Also, keep in mind that the leather will stretch with use.

Yeah, I'm seeing my coach on Wednesday so plan to ask then, was just a bit curious.
Thanks
