Choosing the correct size of work gloves is essential for comfort, protection, and dexterity. Gloves that are too small or too large can be uncomfortable, reduce grip, and increase the risk of tearing.
To choose the right size:
- Measure the circumference of your hand: use a measuring tape to measure the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles, excluding the thumb).
- Refer to the manufacturer’s size chart: each brand provides its sizing chart (usually numbered 7–11 or labeled S–XXL), which you can use to find your correct fit.
- Try the glove on (if possible): the glove should fit snugly, neither too tight nor too loose. Your fingertips should reach the end of the glove but still allow free movement.
A glove that’s too large can slip off and cause accidents, while one that’s too small can restrict movement and tear easily. The perfect fit ensures maximum safety and efficiency.
