Cycling Glove
Size Chart.

Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of your palm, just below the knuckles and above the thumb, without including your thumb. Keep your hand relaxed and flat. Measure your dominant hand and, if it falls between sizes, use the larger reading. That palm circumference is what this chart uses.

Cycling gloves should fit snugly like a second skin, with the padding sitting flat across your palm and no loose fabric bunching between your fingers. There should be a small gap, a few millimetres, at the fingertips. A glove that is too tight restricts circulation and causes numbness; one that is too loose lets the padding shift and rubs.

Snug, not tight. You want the palm padding held firmly in place so it cushions pressure on the nerves at the base of your hand, but you should still be able to make a fist and work the brake and gear levers freely. If your fingertips press hard into the ends or your hand tingles, size up.

Yes, both are sized on the same palm circumference, so your size carries across mitts and full-finger gloves. The one thing to check on full-finger gloves is finger length: if you have long fingers relative to your palm width, look for a brand that offers a longer-finger cut or size up for length.

The measurement method is the same, but womens gloves are cut narrower through the palm and shorter in the fingers, and womens size labels run smaller. A womens medium is roughly a mens small in palm width. Measure your hand and match the number on the specific chart for the range you are buying.

Prioritise palm width, because that is what holds the protective padding in the right place. If your fingers are long, choose a glove known for a longer finger cut rather than sizing up the whole glove, which would leave the palm loose. For fingerless mitts, finger length does not matter, so just match your palm measurement.
