Determine your hand size by measuring the circumference of your palm at its widest point, just below the knuckles. Glove sizes are indicated in inches; for instance, a measurement of 7 inches corresponds to a Small size. To convert millimeters to inches, divide the mm value by 25.4 (e.g., 178mm ÷ 25.4 = 7 inches). Use the table below for a handy mm-to-inches cross-reference.
| Glove Size | mm Range | Inches (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|
