    How to Measure

    Measure around your dominant hand at the widest part (excluding the thumb). This measurement in inches is usually your numerical glove size.

    General Sizing (Men / Women)

    9 - 9.5Large

    Numerical Sizing

    European gloves often use numerical sizing (6, 7, 8, 9).

    • Size 8 is roughly a Medium.

    Key Takeaways

    • If between sizes, choose the larger one for better dexterity
    • Leather gloves stretch slightly over time
    • Winter gloves should be slightly loose to trap heat
