How to Choose the Right Glove Size for Your Hands
Finding the right glove size is crucial for comfort and effectiveness in any task. Whether you’re working, gardening, or enjoying outdoor activities, wearing gloves that fit well can make all the difference. This guide will help you understand how to measure your hands properly and determine the best glove size, featuring insights based on guidance from TEGERA. Step 1: Measure Your Hand Circumference
To start, you’ll need a flexible measuring tape. If you don’t have a measuring tape, you can use a piece of string and then measure that with a ruler afterwards. Follow these steps:
Wrap the Tape Around Your Hand: With your dominant hand open, measure the circumference around the widest part of your palm, excluding your thumb. Make sure the tape is snug but not tight. Record the Measurement: Take note of the measurement in millimeters (mm). Example:
If the circumference of your hand is 200 mm, you have your first measurement. Step 2: Measure Hand Length
Next, you’ll want to measure the length of your hand. Here’s how:
Hold Your Hand Flat: Extend your hand so that your fingers are as straight as possible.

Measure from the Tip to the Base: Measure from the tip of your middle finger down to the base of your hand (the wrist area). This measurement should also be recorded in millimeters (mm). Example:
If the length from your finger tip to the base is 180 mm, write down this measurement. Step 3: Compare Your Measurements with Size Charts
Once you have both measurements, refer to the size chart below to find your glove size:
SIZE CIRCUMFERENCE OF HAND (MM) LENGTH OF HAND (MM)
7 171 178
8 182 203
9 192 229
10 204 254
11 215 279
Find Your Size:
Locate your circumference in the left column. Find the corresponding size on the right. Ensure that both your hand circumference and length match closely with the recommended values in the table. Understanding Variability
It’s important to understand that hand sizes can vary significantly from person to person. The size chart is just a guideline, and not every measurement will perfectly correlate to a size. Fit Comfort: If you’re between sizes, it’s generally better to choose a larger size for comfort, especially if you’ll be wearing them for extended periods. Finger Length: Some gloves may fit well in circumference but feel tight in finger length.

Always move your fingers in the glove to ensure they aren’t too tight. Additional Tips for Glove Fitting
Consider the Material: Different materials provide different levels of flexibility and fit. Make sure to choose gloves made of materials that stretch or conform to your hand shape for added comfort. Test them Out: If possible, try on a few different pairs of gloves in your size range. Pay attention to how they feel when you flex your fingers or make a fist. Wear Them at Home: If you buy gloves online, consider testing them out at home. Break them in by wearing them around before using them for work to ensure they fit right. Conclusion
Choosing the right glove size involves a few simple steps: measuring your hand’s circumference and length, and comparing these dimensions against a size chart like the one provided by TEGERA. Remember that comfort is key, and it’s okay to try a size up if needed. With the right fit, you’ll enjoy better control and protection in any activity.
