Enter your hand circumference and gender to find your recommended glove size. Measure around your palm just below the knuckles (excluding the thumb), then input that value into the Glove Size Calculator — you'll get your glove size along with a fit guide for men's and women's sizing standards.

Lay your dominant hand flat with fingers together. Wrap a soft measuring tape around your palm just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Note the measurement in inches or centimeters — this is your hand circumference. Your dominant hand is usually slightly larger, so always measure that one.
Glove size is typically based on your hand circumference measured in inches. In most sizing systems, your glove size number equals your hand circumference in inches rounded to the nearest half inch. For example, a 7.5-inch circumference corresponds to a size 7.5 glove.
No, men's and women's gloves use different sizing scales. Women's hands are generally smaller, so the same circumference measurement may correspond to a larger labeled size in women's sizing than in men's. Always check the appropriate chart for your gender when buying gloves.
If your hand circumference falls between two sizes, it's generally recommended to round up to the next half size. A slightly larger glove is preferable to one that's too tight, which can restrict movement and blood flow.
Yes, glove sizing can vary between manufacturers and glove types (work gloves, winter gloves, driving gloves, etc.). Always treat the calculated size as a general guideline and check the specific brand's size chart when possible. When in doubt, try before you buy.
You should measure your dominant hand — the one you write with. Your dominant hand is typically slightly larger than your non-dominant hand, and gloves should comfortably fit the larger hand for the best overall fit.
Yes. To convert inches to centimeters, multiply by 2.54. For example, a 7.5-inch hand circumference equals about 19 cm. Our calculator handles both units automatically — just select your preferred measurement unit before entering your hand circumference.
Standard letter labels map to numeric glove sizes as follows: Small (S) = sizes 7–7.5, Medium (M) = sizes 8–8.5, Large (L) = sizes 9–9.5, and Extra Large (XL) = sizes 10 and above. Women's sizing may shift these ranges slightly, so always double-check with the brand's chart.
