How to Measure Your Hand
Finding your glove size is quick and easy.
Step 1
Open your dominant hand and measure the widest part of your palm, excluding your thumb.
Step 2
Compare your palm width to the sizing chart below.
Step 3
If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit and easier glove removal.
