Choosing the right size for non-disposable/reusable work gloves is essential for both comfort and performance. The effectiveness of your protective gloves hinges on a proper fit, which varies depending on the choice of materials and the elasticity of the fabric. To find the right size, it’s important to measure your palm width accurately.

How to Measure Palm Width for correct Work Glove fitting

Using a flexible tape measure, wrap it around the widest part of the palm, just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb. This measurement, in millimetres, will determine the glove size needed. Ensure the hand is relaxed and flat during measuring to avoid an overly tight or loose fit.
