Finding Your Glove Size<\/h3>\n

Once you’ve figured out which material is best for you, you need to figure out your glove size. To find your glove size, use a cloth tape measure to measure around your hand across your palm. Measure your dominant hand around the fullest part. Then measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your hand. To figure out your glove size, use the largest of these two measurements.<\/p>\n
