Glove sizing applies to both men and women

How to Measure Your Hand in 4 Steps:

  1. Circumference Measurement:

    • Wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your hand, typically just below the knuckles (exclude the thumb).
    • Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.
  2. Length Measurement:

    • Spread your fingers wide and measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your hand (where your wrist begins).
    • Record this measurement.
  3. Choose the Larger Number:

    • If the circumference is larger than the length, use that number for sizing. Round up to the nearest half inch if needed.
  4. Dominant Hand:

    • Measure your dominant hand for accuracy (right hand if right-handed, left hand if left-handed)

Key Tips to Follow

  • For disposable gloves, you may opt for a smaller size for better tactile sensitivity
  • Nitrile gloves are less stretchy than latex; consider sizing up if needed
  • Gloves should feel snug but allow free movement. Fingers should reach the tips without excess material.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Measuring over the thumb or too loosely.
  • Ignoring hand length, which affects finger fit (especially important for long fingers).
  • Assuming all materials fit the same; test different types if possible.
