FAQs
1) Where exactly do I measure hand width?
Measure straight across the knuckles at the widest point, excluding the thumb. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
2) How accurate is width compared with circumference?
Most size charts use circumference. Width correlates closely, but brands differ. If possible, confirm against a brand chart before buying.
3) What if I am between two sizes?
Choose your fit by use case: snug for dexterity and tools, regular for everyday wear, roomy for warmth or long sessions.
4) Are men’s and women’s sizes different?
Yes. Women’s lines are often cut narrower. Switching style may change the recommended label by one step for the same width.
5) Does hand length matter?
Some gloves are longer or shorter in finger length. If your fingers are long, consider sizing up or brands with tall/long variants.
6) Can I use this for motorcycle or work gloves?
Yes. For impact or insulated gloves, prefer a slightly roomier fit. For racing or precision work, lean toward snug.
7) Will the glove loosen over time?
Leather typically breaks in and may relax slightly. Synthetics maintain shape longer. Washing care can also affect fit.
