Glove Size Calculator
Measuring instructions and comparison chart to assist you in determining proper sizing for work gloves
The one-size-fits-all approach to gloves does not work when you’re dealing with a physically diverse work force.
Measurements
Follow these three simple steps to determine the best size of work glove for you:
- Rest your hand on a flat surface.
- Measure from the tip of the longest finger to the crease under the palm with a metal or soft measure tape.
- Record the measurement.
- Use a cloth measuring tape.
- Measure your dominant hand.
- Place the beginning of the measuring tape (at 0 in.) just above the inside of your thumb, in the crevice between your thumb and your index finger.
- Wrap the measuring tape all the way around your palm (from it's starting point above your thumb to the outside of your pinky finger and back again).
- Check where the measuring tape overlaps itself at the starting point.
- Record the measurement.
Compare the largest of your two measurements taken above, to the table below to determine your ideal glove size.
