Choosing the right glove size is essential for comfort, grip control and warmth. Gloves that are too small can feel tight, while oversized gloves reduce precision and control during sports.
1. Hand circumference
The most important measurement is hand circumference. Measure around your knuckles (excluding the thumb) using a tape measure. Do not pull it too tight.
2. Palm length
Palm length is measured from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. This is useful as an additional check if you are between sizes.
Between two sizes?
- Sport use: choose a tighter fit for better control.
- Winter gloves: choose a slightly larger size for warmth.
- Kids gloves: a small growth allowance is fine.
