Glove Sizing
Discover the Perfect Fit: A Guide to Finding Your Glove Size
Determining the appropriate glove size can be challenging; which is why we have developed a detailed glove sizing guide to assist you in identifying the size that will best accommodate your hand.
How can I ascertain my glove size?
This guide will provide you with straightforward instructions on how to measure your hands for various types of gloves. Wearing gloves that fit properly can yield significant advantages, allowing them to perform as intended.
The importance of properly fitted gloves in glove technology includes:
- Touch Screen Technology – This feature incorporates advanced materials on the thumb and index fingertips. For optimal conductivity, your skin must make direct contact with the fabric.
- Anti-Glove-Hand Movement – Gloves that are correctly sized will move in harmony with your wrists, hands, and fingers, preventing twisting, bunching, riding up, or slipping.
- Ergonomic Comfort – A glove that is too tight can cause discomfort during strenuous tasks, as it may wedge between the fingers. Conversely, a glove that is too loose can lead to bunching and irritation at the points where the fingers, hand, and wrist flex.
- Compressible Nitrile Coatings – The best grip is achieved through fine textures and nitrile rubbers that compress, providing enhanced strength and grip. A properly sized glove will minimize bunching and movement, allowing the palm to function as a second skin.
- Fingertip Dexterity – Ensuring that your fingers comfortably reach the tips of the gloves allows for effortless gripping with your fingertips.
Disposable Glove Size Guide
Due to the strength of nitrile and its elongation rating, disposable gloves usually have a good range of fit between sizes.
Generally, a technical user can opt for one size smaller than what’s listed in the guide for extra sensitive and accurate fingertips.
Reusable Gloves Size Guide
The effectiveness and comfort of a non-disposable glove largely rely on achieving the proper fit, which is influenced by the manufacturer's selection of materials and their elasticity for each size range.
