GET A GRASP ON THE RIGHT GLOVE FOR YOU
Eliminate the guesswork when ordering gloves, just ask yourself the following questions:
What Size Gloves Should I Order?
This is very important, because a glove that is either too tight or too loose can be both uncomfortable and hazardous in the workplace.
To find the proper size glove for you, simply measure the widest part of your hand, starting above your thumb and measuring across the palm and around the back of your hand (see photo at right). The size in inches corresponds to the size of the glove. (i.e. if your hand measures 8", then you should wear a size 8 glove).
Which Glove Length Should I Choose?

18" 10" to 14"
The length of glove you should order is directly related to the application for which it is to be used. Select glove 32" length by determining the depth to which your arm will be immersed in liquids, or whether it is to be used for
splash protection.
• Wrist and Forearm Lengths (10" to 14") – Protects the hand and wrist for most applications. • Elbow Lengths (18") – Offers splash protection and immersion capability.
• Shoulder Lengths (32") – Ideal for full arm immersion applications.
Generally, the length of a glove is measured from the tip of the middle finger to the outer edge of the cuff.
What Types of Glove Cuffs Are Available?
There are five different types of cuffs from which to choose. Not all styles are available for every glove – the cuffs differ according to application.
Straight Cuff Rolled Cuff Pinked Cuff Safety Cuff Knit Wrist Cuff
The five most common cuff styles are:
• Straight Cuffs – Offer a snug fit around the wrist.
• Rolled Cuffs – Provide added protection to the skin from liquid and chemical run-off.
• Pinked Cuffs – Used on knit-lined gloves to minimize raveling.
• Safety Cuffs – A short, open cuff that is made from stiff material to provide added protection to the wrist area. • Knit Wrist Cuffs – Enhance warmth and provide a close fit to prevent debris from entering glove.
Do Glove Linings Make A Difference?
Linings make a difference in the comfort of the glove, and they also have some added benefits that can be of value for certain applications.
• Flock Linings –
Consist of shredded cotton or synthetic fiber applied
to the interior of the glove, flock linings absorb moisture and make gloves easier to put on and remove.
• Knit Linings –
Consist of cotton or synthetic material knitted to the
interior of the glove, knit linings absorb perspiration and makes gloves easy to put on and remove.
• Unlined –
Gloves that are unlined offer superior tactile sensitivity
and greater dexterity than their lined counterparts. Ordering unlined gloves that have powdered interiors will make them easier to put on and remove.
