Size guide cut-resistant gloves
Finding the right size for cut-resistant gloves is crucial to ensure both safety and comfort. Properly fitting gloves enhance dexterity, reduce fatigue, and provide the necessary protection against cuts, abrasions, and punctures. Here’s a detailed guide on how to find the right size for cut-resistant gloves.
Guide: How to find your size for cut resistant gloves
Step 1. Get a tape measure
The first and most important step in finding the correct size for cut-resistant gloves is to measure your hand. A simple and accurate measurement will help ensure that the gloves fit snugly without being too tight or too loose, both of which could compromise safety and comfort.
Step 2. Measure your dominant hand
Since the dominant hand is usually slightly larger, it’s a good idea to measure this hand to ensure the gloves fit the hand that is doing most of the work. If you are left-handed, measure your left hand; if right-handed, measure your right. Wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of your hand, just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb. This measurement in inches or centimeters will help you determine your glove size. Make sure you measure the widest part of your hand in a relaxed state.
Step 3. Choose a glove size
Consider the type of work you will be doing and how long you will wear the gloves. If you’ll be wearing the gloves for extended periods, prioritize comfort and breathability. Gloves that are too tight can cause hand fatigue, while those that are too loose may reduce your control over tools and materials. It’s also essential to choose gloves rated for the correct cut resistance level for your job, as different tasks require different degrees of protection.
Tip: Our experience shows that if your hand gauge is 8.5’’ , then you should choose a size M and conversely, if it measures 9.5’’, then you should take a size L.
The glove fits properly when it is tight and feels like part of the hand, without tightening.
