Determine your glove size based on hand circumference
Description
The Glove Size Calculator is a quick reference tool for finding the right fit for work gloves, winter gloves, or sporting apparel. Because “Medium” can vary between brands, the most reliable way to find your size is by measuring the physical circumference of your hand. This tool maps that measurement to the standard industry sizing scale.
Inputs
- Hand Circumference (inches): Measure around your dominant hand just below the knuckles (excluding the thumb).
Outputs
- Glove Size: The corresponding Alpha size (e.g.,
L) and your measurement.
Chart
- N/A: This tool provides a categorical size result.
“Good to Know”
- How to Measure: Wrap a flexible measuring tape around your hand at the widest point (usually the knuckles) while making a loose fist.
- Dominant Hand: Always measure your dominant hand (the one you write with) as it is typically slightly larger.
- Between Sizes: If you fall right between two sizes, it is usually better to choose the larger size for comfort and dexterity, unless the gloves are designed to stretch.
