Short Answer
Measure around your hand above the thumb and match that measurement to a glove size chart.
Details
Getting the right glove size is critical for comfort, control, and safety. A glove that is too tight restricts movement. Too loose, and you lose dexterity.
To measure your hand:
- Wrap a tape measure around your hand above the V of your thumb
- Measure the circumference in inches
- Match that number to the size chart below
