How to Convert Glove Sizes
Converting hand measurements to glove sizes ensures proper fit. Glove sizes are based on hand circumference measured around the knuckles.
Measure around your dominant hand excluding the thumb. General sizing: <17cm=XS, 17-19cm=S, 19-22cm=M, 22-24cm=L, 24-27cm=XL, >27cm=XXL. Sizing can vary by brand and glove type (dress, work, sports).
For best fit, check manufacturer's sizing charts as they can vary significantly.
