Finding the perfect sized disposable glove is important to ensure comfort and protection during your day to day tasks. Whether you are in the medical field or food industry, the right glove size can make a difference to your safety and performance.
How to Measure the Width of Your Hand
To measure the width of your hand, you should place a ruler across the palm of your hand. Measure the widest part of your hand excluding your thumb. The diagram below shows where you should measure from.
From here compare your measurement with the table below to determine which size you should get.
It is important to keep in mind that there can be a ±10mm discrepancy for each size. If you are in between sizes it is always best to size up.
| Glove Size | Hand Width in MM | Hand Width in CM | Hand Width in Inches |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extra Small | 70 mm | 7 cm | 2.75 in |
| Small | 80 mm | 8 cm | 3.14 in |
| Medium | 95 mm | 9.5 cm | 3.74 in |
| Large | 110 mm | 11 cm | 4.33 in |
| Extra Large | > 110 mm | > 11 cm | > 4.33 in |
How to Measure the Length of Your Hand
Most gloves come in a standard length of 240mm. However, some do have different lengths and it is important to measure this correctly.
Use a ruler to measure from the bottom of your palm to the top of your middle finger. If the gloves have different lengths ensure you use this measurement to find the correct size.
Gloves that are the right length provide full coverage of your hand and wrist. This can protect you from any chemicals or hazards.
