Find Your Size

Before you choose

What a good glove fit should feel like

Correct glove sizing helps maintain dexterity, grip and comfort throughout the working day.

01

Fingertip control

Your fingertips should comfortably reach the end without excess material bunching.

02

Touchscreen contact

On compatible gloves, the index finger and thumb should meet the conductive area accurately.

03

Ergonomic comfort

The glove should feel secure without restricting circulation or creating pressure points.

04

Natural movement

The glove should move with your fingers, palm and wrist instead of sliding across the hand.

05

Reliable grip

Coated gloves should keep the palm stable so the grip surface performs as intended.

Glove sizes

Choose the chart for your glove type

Measure across the widest part of your palm. Dimensions are a practical guide; construction and liner thickness can affect the final fit.

Why size matters

The correct fit supports safer, more productive work

Gloves that are too tight can increase pressure and hand fatigue. Gloves that are too loose may reduce dexterity, interfere with grip or catch during tasks. A close, comfortable fit helps protective gloves perform properly in construction, manufacturing, agriculture, rescue work and other demanding applications.

  • Better fingertip control and handling accuracy
  • Less material movement inside the glove
  • Improved comfort during extended wear

Gloves measurements

How to measure your hand for gloves

Use a flexible tape measure and take measurements from your dominant hand.

How to measure hand circumference below the knucklesHow to measure hand length and hand width for glove sizing
  1. 01

    Measure the circumference

    Place the zero end of the tape above the inside of the thumb, wrap it around the widest part of the palm below the knuckles, and note where it overlaps.

  2. 02

    Measure the hand length

    Measure from the bottom edge of the palm to the tip of the middle finger.

  3. 03

    Compare the result

    Use the relevant chart above. If length and circumference suggest different sizes, choose the larger size unless the product sheet advises otherwise.

Average glove sizes

Men’s and women’s reference charts

These averages can help when a direct measurement is unavailable, but measuring the wearer will give a more reliable result.
