Without the right work glove size not only will it make tasks harder to complete and cause frustration, but it could cause potential hazards within the workplace. You don’t want the put yourself or others in harm’s way because of the wrong size of work glove after all.

For men, the correct size is usually between 7 and 11 ½ inches, whereas for women (who tend to have smaller hands), the right size can usually be found between 6 and 8/12 inches.

However, they shouldn’t be too loose/you shouldn’t be able to shake off the glove without much effort.

So how do you measure your hands for work gloves?

First method: Measure by width across the knuckles

The most popular method which is used in conjunction with UK glove sizes is to measure your hand with a tape measure. Simply wrap a soft tape measure around your dominant hand over your knuckles (excluding your thumb) and you will get your glove size. Glove sizes are available in both half and whole numbers, ranging in size by sex. You should also always round down to the nearest whole or half number. The size of the gloves will either be shown in inches or in sizes (e.g small, medium and large).

Second method: Measure by length down the hand

Another way of determining the right work glove size is for you, is by measuring your finger length. You can do this, by simply measuring from the bottom of your palm to the tip of your middle finger.
