How to Measure Glove Size

Hand injuries are some of the most common workplace injuries across industries, and Ansell offers hand protection solutions for resistance to cuts, abrasions, impacts, chemical exposures, and a variety of other hazards. Additionally, it’s important to find the correct sizing to ensure the optimal levels of comfort and tactility. Glove size measures in inches so all you need is a tape measure to find the right size gloves for you.

To find out your glove size, wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your hand that’s just below the knuckle and excluding your thumb. For this measurement, it’s best to use your dominant hand, so measure your left if you are left-handed and vice versa. Then measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your hand. Once you have both measurements, use the larger of the two to determine your proper glove size.

Below you will find sizes by number as well as letter sizes:

If your hand measures 6.5 – 7 inches, choose size 7, Small.

If your hand measures 7.5 – 8 inches, choose size 8, Medium.

If your hand measures 8.5 – 9 inches, choose size 9, Large.

If your hand measures 9.5 – 10 inches, choose size 10, XL.

If your hand measures 10.5 – 11 inches, choose size 11, XXL.

You can also utilize Ansell's sizing chart below as another measurement option to find the best fitting glove throughout their portfolio of multi-hazard hand protection.
